Both options were bad, the bid logo was bad. Whatever.

Only fitting. This Milan-Cortina bid has always seemed to me like some half-assed bid designed to piggyback off the general lack of interest.

I actually think the Paralympic Games logo looks fairly good. I think adding some color helps. I don’t really understand the current infatuation designers and consumers have with white on white designs.

according to multiple sources in Italy, the Opening Ceremony of the 2026 Winter Olympic Games will be held at the legendary Arena Scaligera in Verona instead of the early "natural" site, the Giuseppe Meazza (AKA San Siro) Stadium in Milan...:yikes: :facepalm: :wall: :hairpull:

 

It seems also that Bormio (Valtellina) has been chosen to be the venue of the Ski Mountaneering events...:yikes: :facepalm: :wall: :hairpull:

What exactly is this Arena Scaligera? Googling gives some indoor hall of some volleyball team but also an epic Roman theater....which would be absolutely amazing :d 

 

And Bormio seems cool :cheer: 

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!

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...;)

The Verona Arena will host the Paralympics opening and the Olympics closing cerimonies, not the Olympics opening.

only because of the veto option by mayor Sala within the OC board, otherwise they tried to steal also the true Olympic Opener (just like those in Turin are trying to steal some events of the 2026 OG just to put their hands on the Olympic funding :facepalm: :wall:)...
