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...

Stockholm 2026 is looking great at the moment. Are has proven how you organise some good alpine competitions... Oh wait.. :p 

 

Well. Åre has been struck by a good oldfashioned time of freak weather...

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

    • Some of the small nations have competed in the past but usually lost 30-0 to the Aussies
    • Officials persons (include Head) of RLF are still in ban. For example, Vaelbe has spoken even more terrible words but, however, CAS obliged to gave them AIN status. And it's the same situation here - FIL must to implement CAS's decision. But it's not clearly FIL's criterias for AIN status and that too strange
    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
