Italy has celebrated its most triumphant Winter Olympics, culminating in a record 30 medals, with 10 of them being gold. The achievements were highlighted by notable performances from athletes such as Simone Deromedis and Federico Tomasoni in ski cross, who earned gold and silver, respectively. Additionally, Andrea Giovannini secured a bronze in mass start speed skating, further elevating Italy's medal count and showcasing the nation's prowess in winter sports.

The Italian media has lauded the Olympic team's performance, with the Gazzetta dello Sport calling Italy 'la terra dell' oro,' or 'the land of gold.' This sentiment was echoed throughout various outlets, including the Corriere della Sera, which referred to the athletes as 'angeli azzurri' or 'blue angels.' The overall excitement and national pride were palpable, as the victories were seen as not just personal achievements but as a source of collective national pride.

Despite the joy surrounding the Olympic success, the event was not without its controversies, such as the resignation of sports chief Paulo Petrecca after comments made during the opening ceremony. Nonetheless, the focus for most Italians remains on the remarkable accomplishments of their athletes, celebrating a historic chapter in Italy's Olympic history that is likely to inspire future generations of competitors.
