Milan Cortina admitted at the end of the press conference that the cost had gone up a little bit on their initial estimates for the sliding centre.

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.

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

One wonders if the track survives a bit longer this time..I'd be surprised if the Cortina track is still used regularly in, say, 2030.

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...

    • It’s simply the only skating event where jumps don’t matter, only choreography. And how much you bribe the judges matters too.
    • Can’t say I understand how scoring works in ice dance, the rest are easy to determine how good of a score based off spins during jumps

    • Not the biggest fan of figure skating especially with what has happened this season but since it’s the Olympics I guess I’m watching 
    • Czech Euroeport commentator: wow I see there only 9 pairs starting, Korea probably thought they have no chances and decided to not send a pair here, what a dumb move   omfg... I know for being a sport announcer you not need any special requirements, but I think having some basic infos about the event you are going to comment should be fine to have at least
    • Don't know if other nations' media have picked this up, but here in  the aerodynamics of ski jumping are a question.of fascination.  Or one particular aspect of it.   The World Anti-Doping Agency could investigate if evidence emerges that male ski jumpers are injecting their penises in a bid to improve sporting performance.   In January, German newspaper Bild, external reported that jumpers were injecting their penises with hyaluronic acid before being measured for their suits     https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/czej70jyg4eo
    • Surprise in the French lineup, Siao is not in the men’s short program.
