"We keep the details close because we do not want to benefit adversaries already as strong as Stockholm, Erzurum and Calgary, but the candidacy of Milan and Cortina at the Winter Olympics in 2026 is ready and has a great dossier in the drawer", The governor of the Veneto Region, Luca Zaia, told ANSA that, together with his counterpart of the Lombardy Region, Attilio Fontana, and the mayors of Milan, Giuseppe Sala, and Cortina, Giampietro Ghedina, attended the first collegiate assessment on the next steps and actions to be undertaken and to officially launch the "Lombard-Veneto" nomination to host the White Games in eight years, among other things in 2026 will recur the 70th anniversary of the Games of Cortina 1956. Among the details that Zaia says to keep secrets it seems that the opening ceremony takes place in Milan and the closing one in Cortina.
In the evening the exclusion of Erzurum from the race for the Games of 2026 came. It was announced by IOC President Thomas Bach, in Buenos Aires where the executive board of the International Olympic Committee is meeting. The Turkish city would not have adequate infrastructure to host the five-circle festival. The meeting was attended by the vice president of the IOC, elected two years ago, the Turkish Ugur Erdener. The Swedish capital Stockholm and the Canadian Calgary, already home to the 1988 White Games dominated on track and mediated by Alberto Tomba, are still in the running.
