Milan Cortina 2026 unable to find company willing to build sliding centre:

 

The venue intended to host sliding sports at the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games is still yet to have a company willing to carry out critical construction work.

The Organising Committee had launched a search for tenders to develop the Cortina Sliding Centre, which is due to stage bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton.

Milan Cortina 2026 has confirmed that "no offers have been received" following the end of the first part of the tender procedure which began on June 5.

Costs for the facility have skyrocketed with the original expected figure of €41.7 million (£36.5 million/$45.3 million) increasing to €85 million (£72.9 million/$92.5 million).

A deadline of November 2025 has been set by Società Infrastrutture Milano Cortina 2026 (SIMICO), the Games' body responsible for overseeing venue readiness, for the completion of the venue.

As a fan of bobsleigh having the Olympics in St Moritz would not be the worst outcome, I’ve always wanted to see Olympic bobsleigh there. Obviously it would be somewhat less than ideal for Italy to not be able to have a sliding venue built in time.

it's not all over yet, as the problem is building the track for the 2024/2025 Winter in order to have the test event in that period

 

actually, if the timeline was the Olympic Winter (with the test event just a couple of months before the Games), there wouldn't be any problem

 

so, it's just a question of finding the right deal with IOC and the sliding sports federation...:whistle:

 

I still think that the track will be in place come November/December 2025 ;)

Does anybody remember, if there was an official date until IOC have to announce their official decision if they will allow or not Rus/Blr athletes to compete in Paris Olympics?

I don’t think there’s a hard deadline. IOC has a lot of power when it comes to who can participate at the Games. They may set a deadline for themselves, but as prior situations have shown, those can be permeable if it benefits the IOC.

Yeah, the only certain deadline is next year´s March for Ice Hockey. IIHF already made it clear it will be the final deadline for them regardless of IOC approach to the topic, March is the final possible timeframe, when the organization will have to decide whether RUS and BLR will take part to the Milano/Cortina Ice Hockey tournament/Qualifiers.

 

This is also the date literally every Slovak has marked in their calendars, since the final decision will affect our position of direct qualifier or Qualifying Tournament participant

Its been confirmed sliding events will be held outside Italy, presumably Innsbruck 

Meh, that is highly unfortunate. Understandable, but unfortunate :( 

 

Innsbruck is a fun little track, but that's just it: little. It feels way too short for a modern-day Olympic sliding track..

      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)

      is considering US born goalie Joey Daccord for the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off.    https://thehockeynews.com/news/team-canada-is-seriously-considering-usa-born-joey-daccord-for-4-nations-face-off   .923 SV% in 13 games, and 9-3-1 on the season. Would be a big pickup for our goalie issues.
