Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach is acknowledging the “challenges” facing organizers of the 2026 WinterOlympics in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo.
Bach also supported local authorities who are waiting until after the election to appoint a new CEO of the organizing committee after the departure of Vincenzo Novari — a move which has paralyzed construction and other plans, such as the recruitment of sponsors.
“Thanks to the new rules we were able to imagine a candidacy like Milan-Cortina,” 2026 committee coordinator Diana Bianchedi told Bach. “I promise to you we won’t let you down.”There had been discussions of holding sliding at an existing venue just beyond Italy’s border in St. Moritz, Switzerland, or Innsbruck, Austria.
But Ivo Ferriani, the president of the International bobsled and skeleton federation — who was the general manager of the Turin track — pointed to a century of sliding history in Cortina. Ferriani added that plans are already being made to host World Cup bobsled races at Cortina in 2026-27 followed by the world championships in 2027-28 — plus European Cup and Paralympic races.
Outdoor ice is notoriously tough to keep in shape for all competitors to have a fair chance at a medal.
