MILAN :Torchbearers at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics will wear white uniforms with a red and yellow pattern recalling the Olympic flame, organisers said on Wednesday during the garments' unveiling.

"They represent a light that travels, linking every step towards Milano Cortina 2026," said Scott Mellin, Global Chief Brand Officer at Salomon, the French sportswear firm that created the uniforms.

Traditionally, torchbearers' uniforms at Winter Games are white to keep the focus on the flame.

With less than 100 days to go before the Games, organisers also said 18,000 volunteers and others working at the Olympics would wear blue jumpsuits with a green, blue, and white pattern.
