2026 Olympics: the biathlon moves away from Anterselva

Important news about the Olympic locations of the Italian nomination Milan-Cortina 2026 come today. Today, the newspaper Il Gazzettino reported an interview with the Mayor of Cortina who said that the Province of Bolzano will have no Olympic competition.

"The agreement with Trento is safe, while there are few opportunities to involve Bolzano", these are the words of the first citizen of Ampezzo released to the newspaper at the end of the first organizational summit that took place yesterday at the CONI headquarters in Rome of the President Giovanni Malagò, of the governors of the Veneto and Lombardy Regions, Zaia and Fontana, and of the Mayor of Milano Sala. Ghedina reiterated that the Italian candidacy is based on a principle according to which there must be a fair sharing of competitions between the Milan and Cortina clusters. With the probable displacement of the cross-country competitions from Santa Caterina Valfurva to the Federal Center of the Val di Fiemme and that of the fast trials of men's alpine skiing from Cortina to Bormio, a certain unequilibrium would be created in favor of the Venetian locality that would award a greater number of medals compared to Milan. In this regard, it seems that the 'hypothesis to use for the biathlon competitions the Suedtirol Arena of Anterselva (which would be associated with Cortina ed) seems to be the authentic temple of this sport, to make room for a place in Lombardy and among the possible suspects could be there Valdidentro and Livigno. On the other hand, the dream of Forni Avoltri, which in the past few days had presented a dossier to insert the Carnia Arena International Biathlon Center among the Olympic venues, fades away. Waiting to get to know the designated biathlon venue, the organizers of Milano-Cortina 2026 have announced that in the next week, exactly on October 23rd and 25th, there will be the technical-inspection visits of the IOC and that the "first" presentation the candidacy is scheduled for November 28 in Tokyo, on the occasion of the ANOC Executive Council.
