Single candidate, Italy on Thursday 30 January will have the second winter Olympics. In 2019 it was not easy to beat the competition of Stockholm, but the Coni and the government made a great team game and the Cio gave us the winter Olympics of Milan-Cortina 2026 (and who knows if Bach had cheered for us …). Now we are unique candidates: after a hesitation of the IOC tied above all to the slow (or Fermi) works of the Olympics that will be held in just over a year, exactly in 374 days, now the “yog”, Youth Olympic Games, will also arrive, Vale To say the Olympics, these winter, of young people too. The Executive Committee of the IOC has fully married the Valtellina-Dolomiti 2028 project. The 143th extraordinary session of the International Olympic Committee, Thursday 30 January in Lausanne, in the afternoon, will officially proclaim the success of Valtellina-Dolomiti (which has just been full government support). The Italian delegation will be nourished: in addition to the president of Coni, Giovanni Malagò, and his staff, there will also be Minister Abodi and the three presidents of the three interested regions (Fontana, Zaia, Escatti).
The executive committee of the IOC, on December 3, 2024, had proposed Dolomiti Valtellina as “preferred host” with these reasons: “The vision of Dolomiti Valtellina for the winter youth Olympic games (yog) of 2028 is to build on the inheritance of the Olympics Milan-Cortina 2026 winter, including the reuse of places and the investment in community programs to encourage physical activity, especially among young people. The goal is to inspire a new generation of athletes and leaders, “says the IOC. The Masterplan uses existing locations in Valtellina, Val di Fiemme and Cortina, with seven of the 11 race offices of Milan-Cortina 2026. The sporting program for 2028 includes Biathlon, Bob, curling, ice hockey, sled, skating and skiing, with a maximum share of 1,900 athletes. Within a year, the IOC executive committee will finalize the sports shares and athletes in consultation with the international federations, with the aim of reducing costs.
The organizing committee (yogoc) of the children’s games may also propose other sports. As mentioned, the inheritance of Milan-Cortina will be exploited: for example, the famous Bob Cortinese track will be used to try to give a greater impulse to a sport that once saw us excel in the world and which now concerns a few dozen people. Just think that at the latest youth games, there was no blue in the Bob. In addition, the Pinè Baselga Speed skating system will be re-evaluated: it had been discarded for the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympics (too high the costs to cover the system, tenders moved to the Rho fair) but now it will be useful for the young. He was good Fugatti to have the refreshments.
Milan-Cortina Foundation, a special canteen that also saves on water and lasagna …
The project of the new Milano Cortina 2026 Foundation canteen represents a concrete example of how environmental sustainability and social inclusion can be integrated into daily management (what the IOC wants). The initiative is an emblem of the Legacy and sustainability strategy that embodies the Olympic and Paralympic values, offering a tangible contribution to the creation of a more sustainable and inclusive future.
