Bobsled, skeleton and luge events will not be held in Italy during the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics, organizing committee officials said Monday, meaning those athletes will likely be competing in either Austria or Switzerland during the games.
“As chairman of the IOC sustainability and legacy commission, I can only applaud the decision by our friends in Milano-Cortina not to go ahead with the reconstruction of the sliding center in Cortina,” said IOC member Prince Albert II of Monaco, who competed in five Olympics as a bobsledder. “And I am absolutely confident that the best solution will be found for an existing venue to be the venue for those games.”Thanks for signing up!The next issue of Your Midday Sun will soon be in your inbox.
