Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026 News

it's the ancient Roman Amfitheater...

 

nowadays it's used for operas and concerts almost exclusively, but they held also a couple of World League Volleyball matches of our men's National team in the recent past...

 

still, it's too small (it can accomodate no more than about 22,000 people) to host the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games (and moreover, it's the Milano-Cortina Games...and it's been clear from the beginning that the Games opener would be in the San Siro Stadium in Milan)...

 

Bormio is cool, but the Dolomites are just on another level in terms of landscape...;)

 

22.000 people would be a nice change, a little less massive can be good, especially when it's in a truly unique setting other than just another big stadium. Too bad it's apparently only the Paralympic ceremony and not both.

From usually well infromed sources the different national hockey federations were already informed about the Men tournament qualification format for Milano/Cortina 2026.

 

Same format will be played as the Vancouver, Sochi, PyeongChang and Beijing tournaments.

 

12 teams tournament, 8 qualified directly via IIHF ranking after next year 2023 World Championships, 1 automatical host quota for Bella Italia and 3 will advance from 4 rounds qualification Tournaments, with 9th, 10th and 11th ranked IIHF 2023 country hosting the final qualification tournaments.

 

The final IIHF world ranking will be counted the usual way:

 

 

Last 4 WChs and last Olympic Tournament will be counted,

 

  • with the 2023 WCh having 100% counts, 2022 WCh 75%, WCh 2021 50% and WCh 2020 (since was not played due pandemic the 2019 will be used instead) 25% 
  • and The last Olympics have 100% counting value.

 

So basically the qualifying ranking right now for Milano looks so

 

Rank NOC WCh 2023 WCh 2022 WOG 2022 WCh 2021 WCh 2020(19) Total

Congress also voted to include in the Olympic programme a women's Nordic combined, paired mogul and mixed ski cross competitions in freestyle and mixed competitions in snowboarding in parallel slalom.

Yeah, more mixed nonsense. Rich have to get richer after all :d Not gonna say what the level in women's nordic combined will be. Probably extremely low given how Geraghty-Moats was able to dominate until recently despite being a very mediocre ski jumper.

Just to clarify, this appears to be dual moguls (as in men's and women's dual moguls, not a team event).

Well the level in women's ski jumping increased extremely quickly after Olympic inclusion so I assume the same will happen here, though obviously the level in men's Nordic Combined is itself very low as is.

Geraghty-Moats times are way gone...

 

nowadays it's Norway dominating from the hill and on the skis (with the Italian Sieff being the best of the rest among the good jumpers and the Slovenian Volavsek being the best of the rest among the skiing specialists...and all the Japanese team growing very quickly)...

 

early starters have no chance anymore already...

 

I'm pretty sure in 4 years time we're gonna have an interesting event, possibly even more than the men's...

 

the true scandal are those mixed team events in skicross and slalom snowboarding (and the dual moguls, which is basically a double chance for the same skiers)...

    • In my opinion, the maximum period in power should be 8 years. Next to, it's already too long, especially since Hungary's economy is much weaker than earlier. Just as Italy has too many changes of government, Orbán's 16 years in power is definitely too long for me. Perhaps only Erdogan and Putin have ruled in Europe longer, but those are semi-dictatorships.    In the USA, just about two weeks before the election, bookmakers were betting heavily on Trump, from what I remember good. They were more wrong in 2016 with Trump and Clinton – then, Clinton was expected to win clearly until the very end.
    • Fraud hopefully not, it's true that everyone says it will be like 50-50% as far as the winner is concerned. Hopefully the moron (ov) loses but honestly don't know what will happen.  My main concern is that it was said about the 2024 US election that it will be very close and then what happened... (I mean hopefully these opinion polls are more reliable than the American ones)
    • According to our bookmakers, Orban could lose after so long time, but I've read that there may be electoral fraud. What do you think?
    • Good to know there will be a women's hockey wch in Budapest this year. Admittedly I was out of the loop for many sports recently (only followed the winter sports world cup circuit prior to the Olympics and not everything from there even) According to Wikipedia the first day of the competition will be Election Day (12 April) Hopefully this will not be a bad omen for any of the teams involved.... 
    • This year, Italy will play against Slovakia in the women's hockey World Championships in Budapest in April. Who do you think will be the favorite?
    • Don´t want to speak about Slovak politics amigo. They all were, are and will be greedy, uneducated and corrupted bastards. Point.   Back to sport. We suck as hell, but we know it, However, that´s not a reason to not enjoy the Olympics, it is a once in a 4 years time holiday of sport 
    • You are easily in NBC´s medal Tally Top 10 mate. No worries 
    • In that time in Poland was ruled by a some center-right government with the support of liberals but a president was a post-communist. It seems to me that in Poland, the president has much more power than in Italy or Slovakia. Btw., during the Yanukovych era, Ukraine also wanted to organize the Winter Olympics in Lviv in 2022
