So, the games will be thrown all over north Italy. Not my full liking, but it's still better than what we saw in Are.

The more goes to Süd-Tirol, the better :p Although that's not the main part I believe (without taking the time to google exactly which places are or are not there :p )

It’s kind of a random collection of venues, but it’s also a ton of classic venues. Bormio and Cortina for Alpine Skiing and Biathlon in Antholz would be big treats in particular.

well, technically, only Anterselva/Antholz is in South Tyrol...:evil:

 

in the picture above there's a map of Northern Italy with all the proposed venues for Milano-Cortina 2026, so to understand where they're located within the Country (just click on it to see a bigger version of the map)

 

p.s. Predazzo is not selected on the map, but basically it's the same place as Tesero, just a few minutes drive down the same road...

the main concept is exactly that...

using the most iconic winter sports venues already existing and working in Italy, with the less new buildings as possible (the main expenses would be the re-building of the Cortina Track and the covering of the Baselga Ice Rink...the new big hockey -actually, multi-purpose, of course- arena in Milan is not counted, as it looks that it will be build in any case by private investors, even if Milan doesn't get the honor of hosting the Olympic Games...so, there's no public funding required nor actual relationship with the Games for that)...

 

p.s. Predazzo and Tesero are also "regular" hosts for the Nordic Skiing Worlds (and World Cup/Tour de Ski)...:evil:

and Livigno, even if they don't normally get involved in the world cup stuff, has one of the most beautiful Snow Park in the Alps, with permanent tracks for most "freestyle" disciplines of ski and snowboard...;)

not to mention Cortina's tradition in Bobsleigh...the new track would follow the course of the old one, just getting renovated according to the more modern security standards (and adapted to Skeleton and Luge requirements, as those 2 disciplines have never been really contested in Cortina, not internationally at least)...

 

in general, all those places are very much familiar with the winter sports world, at least in the past, when not that recently...

yeah, that's the main issue...but, as for what reports have been written, it wasn't the only false step they had to cope with...;)

 

Sure. But luckily they've shown plenty of times before that they're capable of hosting major events without cock-ups

      Speed Skating ISU World Cup 2024 - 2025

      2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway

      very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
