MILANO CORTINA 2026 EXHIBITION GALA just dropped its full schedule — and yes, there’s video. Alysa Liu is set to close the night after gold, a final spotlight moment that already feels historic. Meanwhile, Ilia Malinin is placed right where the energy peaks — and insiders say his entrance is going to hit different this time. The order. The timing. The lighting cues. It doesn’t feel random. Some fans are already dissecting one particular segment in the schedule that might hint at something bigger planned for the finale.
It’s time for the figure skaters to have fun at the Winter Olympic Games.
After two straight weeks of going head-to-head for medals with numerous controversies, tears, and triumphs, the main character of these year’s Games gets a chance to say goodbye to the fans in Milan, Italy.
The Olympic Exhibition Gala is on Saturday, beginning at 2 p.m. ET, featuring the best from ice dancing, pairs, and the men’s and women’s individual competitions, with the top skaters taking the ice to put on a show before the official closing ceremony on Sunday.
From women’s Olympic (and world) champion Alysa Liu to the “Quad God” Ilia Malinin, it’s a star-studded affair with the biggest names in figure skating wanting to put on a show where not every spin is graded by a judge.
Here is the full schedule for Saturday’s extravaganza.
