Ski mountaineering at the Milan-Cortina 2026 Games? Yes, the dream could come true soon.
The IOC Executive has officially proposed the inclusion of the discipline in the Olympic program of the Winter Olympics, starting with the Italian edition. Now the approval of the Congress will be needed, which will discuss and vote in Tokyo on 20-21 July, to start the entry from Milan-Cortina 2026. The new titles would be five: two men, two women (sprint and individual) and a mixed one (relay); Needless to say, Italy has been the absolute protagonist for years, dominating at world level and in the World Cup.
The competitions would include the involvement of 48 athletes (including 24 men and 24 women) who will be included in the limit of 2900 athletes for all disciplines. In Italy, the discipline is managed by the FISI, while at the international level it is the responsibility of the ISMF, and there is a great increase in consensus and enthusiasts in the Alps. Ski mountaineering was already part of the program of the Youth Winter Olympic Games ( YOG) in Lausanne 2020.
In Rome, the Coni Council has meanwhile established that the President of the FISI, Flavio Roda, will follow the work of the same body, by virtue of the role held, and in view of the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games. 'Executive of the IOC on ski mountaineering is good news for Italy - commented Roda himself - Both because it is a growing discipline of enthusiasts in our country, fully eco-sustainable for the mountain environment, and because we can count on one of the most successful teams in the world.
Now, we await the vote of the Congress ":
