Location Of 2026 Winter Olympics Sliding Events Cast In Doubt
Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani: The location of the bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton events at the 2026 Olympic Winter Games was cast in doubt this week after it was revealed that a plan to update a historic track was too expensive.
Italy's Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo were awarded the 2026 Winter Games four years ago. The original plan called for reusing the Eugenio Monti facility for the downhill track events, Xinhua reports.
The Eugenio Monti track was built in 1923, and it was used in the 1956 Winter Olympics hosted by Cortina d'Ampezzo as well as in nine world championships, the most recent of which was in 1999. However, the track was closed in 2008 amid rising maintenance costs.
