At the Milano Cortina 2026 Paralympic Winter Games, Victory Selfie Reaches a New Milestone
on March 13, 2026
Victory Selfie transformed medal celebration experiences through athletes’ self-captured images shared around the world, quickly becoming an iconic cultural moment across the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Now, it has reached a new milestone as it returned to the Paralympic Winter Games.
For the first time at the Paralympic Games, Victory Selfie expanded beyond individual and pair events to all events — including team competitions. Victory Selfie was incorporated into the official medal ceremony across all events as well at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games. Every medal-winning athlete had the opportunity to share their individual or team triumph from their own perspective. All Victory Selfie images were taken with the Galaxy Z Flip7 Olympic Edition.
Victory Selfie represents how the Paralympic Games continue to evolve — honoring tradition while embracing new ways to enhance athlete and fan experiences during the Games.
By placing the phone in athletes’ hands, Samsung reinforces a simple belief: athletes should be able to tell their own stories.
