it's more complicated than that...

 

basically, our NOC (after the IOC gave them permission to do it) has approved a tri-city bid (Milano, Torino, Cortina)...

but now Milan, that thought (with all the reason, I'd say) they would be the real candidate town (with only some events hosted by the other bidders, Torino and Cortina), has decided to opt out from the possible governance of the final bid (in practice, no Milan officials nor politicians will be in the "Local Organizing Committee" of the Games), giving in any case the OK to our NOC to be included among the Olympic Venues (it's still unclear if they want the name of the city included in the official bid -it's still supposed that the Opening Ceremony will be in San Siro Stadium, so it would be really strange if the name "Milano" won't be included- or not)...

 

however, this not a sport bid anymore...it's just a political compromise that has nothing to do with sport, but only with our worst habit, the systematic spoil system of all our public institutons by the governing political parties...

 

and technically it's just something unacceptable (a few proposed venues are just a joke)...

Do you think the bid will survive (generally speaking, not just with this Milan thing) ?

Definitely getting Calgary 2026 now :facepalm::facepalm:

 

Canada likely to be first country to host the World Cup/Olympics in same year.

 

 

What's wrong with Calgary? 

 

The place where our Yvonne van Gennip beat all those doped up East Germans and Soviets on nothing but a good sandwich with peanut butter :banana:

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! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Canada does not need another Winter Olympics. 2010 was used perfectly to make Canada world power in winter sports. A summer Olympics would be a better hosting option and hopefully would help push Canada into the top 8 (long term goal by the COC)

@phelps, how big are chance for Italy seriously bidding for SOG? 

 

Summer Games? 0, absolutely 0

 

the government accepted this Winter bid only because it's not that expensive and because the 3 regions are led by their same coalition (Lombardy -not the city of Milan, but the entire region- and Veneto -Cortina- by Lega Nord and Torino by 5-star movement -and that's the problem...our NOC actually wanted Milan as the Olympic bidder, but the 5-star people wanted Torino...so our NOC was forced to accept the political compromise with this 3-headed bid or nothing)...

 

but the Summer Games are definitely another thing (and the only possible bidder is Rome, with all the problems they take with them)...

This in only a farce, like all the italian bid from Rome 2020. I really haven't word about that, how  CONI accepted this? :facepalm:
