There's little sign of the Olympics in Milan with only 3 years to go.
The Associated PressMILAN – Perched incongruously on the 44th floor of one of Milan’s modern glass skyscrapers is a ski lodge.
The 50,000-square-meter site that will house the Palitalia, where hockey is scheduled to take place, is currently an overgrown wasteland. And construction work has only just started at the area where the Olympic Village will be situated.The organizing committee has admitted there have been delays because of the coronavirus pandemic and rising costs due in part to the war in Ukraine, but Olympic Games executive director Christophe Dubi said there is nothing to be concerned about.
One of the key features of Milan-Cortina’s winning bid in 2019 was the use of existing structures. That included the San Siro for the opening ceremony. “We know that there are a number of adjustments that are made to the stadium which will be ready for the games.” “We were always clear with the IOC and our partners that if it’s built – and of course now the construction has started, or I should say rather the demolition, which is the first step – we are going to be users in the end because we always felt that it was not necessarily needed for the games,” Dubi said. “Now there was a decision made and we respect this decision.”
“For example, should we rotate between games hosts in the future? Is it something that is appealing for winter sports, appealing for those hosts? And we tend to believe it is the case. Northern Italy ’06, ’26, Sapporo, Salt Lake City is interested as well in the future. So is there a trend whereby once you have invested, you want to re-host in the future? So we need to look into that.”
