And the triumph of Milan-Cortina 2026 is coupled with politics, which participated and toasted together with the delegation led by Giovanni Malagò, on the great evening of Lausanne.
At the time of Thomas Bach's announcement, only the premier Giuseppe Conte, already headed to the Geneva airport due to the institutional commitments, was missing after intervening at the official blue presentation in the early afternoon.
"We are proud of this great achievement - the words of the Prime Minister - Italy has won, a country that has worked together with the ambition to create and offer the world a memorable sporting event".
On the concept of unbeatable Italy when it presents itself really compact, all the other politicians present in Switzerland have expressed themselves, as a key man of the Italian expedition, Undersecretary Giancarlo Giorgetti. "Our slogan was to dream together, now it's working together. Working with the IOC, the regions, the CONI and the government; the first step is certainly the Olympic law that must be approved by the Italian Parliament, an implementing decree that will be converted into law by the end of the year â€.
Milan-Cortina has also united different political currents. Like the mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Sala, who declared himself "very happy with a victory that came from a credible team, also because he lost a second time after the" Eima would have been annoying ", and the governor of Veneto, Luca Zaia. "It was a struggle, we started solo with Cortina and we created a duo that worked with Milan, launching a challenge that overcame political ideas".
He called himself "excited and very satisfied", the president of the Lombardy region, Attilio Fontana, who added: "Since the beginning of the adventure, all together, we have believed in it and this result is the prize for the stubbornness and professionalism of a strong, tenacious and prepared team ".
