Just a year to go to the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, Sky Sports News looked more closely at the upcoming competition.
On February 6, 2026, the games return to the mountains of Europe 12 years later, and in 20 years Italy was first.
“Milan Cortina” won in 2019 to host the games by winning the competition from Stockholm.
Milan Cortina will be the first winter games, which, in fact, are united by two cities. Milan will mainly hold “closed ice” events, and Cortina and the surrounding clusters are “Snow Sport.”
Why are 2026 games out of significant sports and its borders?
The games return to Europe. The previous two publications of the Winter Olympics were hosted in South Korea and China, Beijing 2022 greatly affected by very poor regulations.
Russia hosted the latest games in Europe in 2014, where only the ranking of the state sponsors of the Russian state has appeared only after the games.
2026 Games are staged in the cities of Milan and Cortina
On a wider geopolitical scale, Russian President Vladimir Putin triumphously closes the Sochi Olympics on February 23, Russia invaded and broke out of Ukraine.
Climate change and the future of the Winter Olympics will be on the agenda. Due to the changing climate of the planet, fewer regions will be able to host traditional winter sports in the future.
All seven prospects for the MOC presidential election, with the March elections, raised this issue within the framework of their manifesto.
Sebastian EC and Johann Elias are candidates to become the next president of the IOC
Johann Elias, the current president of FIS, the skiing and Snowboarding World Body, as well as one of the candidates, said winter games should be awarded on the rotation system, and they will probably be able to host games in the world.
St. CJSC, another candidate to become members of the IOC, added that the Winter Olympics can also see new events, such as the intersection, as traditionally the summer Olympic sports, which are played inside, are moving to winter games.
And when talking about the Council of Europe and Elias, the Milan-Cortina Olympic Games opened to the 12-year-old tenure of the new President Thomas Bach. A new president, depending on the one who is elected, can bring significant change within the framework of the Olympic movement.

Concerns about the readiness of the path for sliding sports
One year to go, one of the main facilities of the Winter Olympics, a sliding path used for Bobsley, Skeleton and Louis, is not over.
So the IOC and local organizers are concerned that the reserve path is expected. The problem is that the reserve path is not in Italy. It is not even in Europe. Lake Lake in the United States is backed up if it is not possible to complete the 1650 m path at Dolomites. At present, there are 190 employees in the shift seven days a week. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has been involved as a national pride that is endangered. Italy wants this Olympic Games to be 100 percent Italian.
Construction work takes place for the Cortina Sliding Center for Bob, Luge and Skeleton
The option of transporting sliding events in Italy is no longer an option. The path of 2006, used for the Turin Olympics, when Italy last hosted the winter games after not using those games.
Snow or lack of it is also a problem. In the European Mountains, the snow has fell rapidly in the last 40 years and 90% of Italian skiing relies on artificial snow producers to strengthen their pister.
While artificial snowmobiles were used in the Olympic Games, they use a large amount of water and a significant amount of energy is needed to flow.
Does the team GB jump from 2022 to “disappointment”?
It is unknown as the Winter Olympic Power Plant, the team’s GB lifted its game in the last few decades, but the last games in 2022, where they won only two medals.

For Milan Cortina, hopes are again high, because in their events, several medal candidates are performing a world-class standard. Team GB will hope for sliding delays and problems are solved, as it can be a source of medals. The four people led by Brad Halle This season was regularly from the pulpit, including last month in the World Cup, where they became the first non-German staff from 2012.

Freya Tarbit and Amelia Coltman both medalized in world events, and during men Matt Weston demanded gold in January.
Free-style skier Kirsty Muir is one of the best in the world. The 20-year-old 20-year-old 7-year-old games won silver and bronze in 2023. Currently, leaving the ACL injury must be accommodated within 12 months and will be ready to medal.
Other places in the world of 17-year-old Snowboard Mia Brooks has been in the Chair of World Cup, and 20 years of its senior “Missile” Dave Reuding continues to mix it with the best Slalom skiers in the world.
