The figure provided was €50 million They should honestly just ask to use St.Moritz. It’s not to far, it’s cheap, and all international sliders know and love the track. heywoodu 1 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

But in Italy we don’t have a sliding track and it will be needed for sport development, so it makes sense to me not renouncing to it Gianlu33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

I hope so... Cortina has a long tradition as an international sliding track e basically they still have the track there...the problem is that it can't be used with the ice surface (part of it, it's open to tourists in summer...you can skate or go down with a street luge/bob...the top part instead is almost abandoned) and currently it doesn't meet the safety requirements to be used for competitions... but if finally someone put the money on the renewal it needs, then I think it will survive for quite a while...the project of our NOC is quite clear about that...it must be operative also in the years following the games, not only until 2026 and stop...
