Snow isn't the only thing in the air at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics.
There will be no shortage of love as power couples gear up for the Games together. The Olympics run through Valentine's Day (Feb. 14) and some competitors won't have to spend the holiday apart from their significant other. Olympic medals are always the goal, but some athletes already have their prize.
"The skating career is short and finite, but the relationship is much, much longer," said Evan Bates, one half of the husband-and-wife ice dancing duo with Madison Chock. "The appreciation for everything that we've gone through over 15 years has grown as maybe you get closer towards the end."
Each Olympic partnership is unique. Some Olympic duos compete together, like Bates and Chock, while others participate in the same discipline, including American snowboarders Red Gerard and Hailey Langland. There's partners in completely different sports, such as ice hockey star Hilary Knight and speed skater Brittany Bowe, and even some lovebirds representing different countries, like Anna Kjellbin and Ronja Savolainen.
Here are a few of the most notable partnerships at the 2026 Winter Olympics:
