El bobsled, skeleton y luge no serán parte de los eventos que se realizarán en Italia como parte de los Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno Milán-Cortina 2026 indicó el lunes el comité organizador, por lo que es probable que las competencias se realicen en Austria o Suiza.
La razón principal: dinero. La reconstrucción de la histórica pista Eugenio Monti en Cortina d'Ampezzo —que fue construida hace 100 años y fue utilizada en los Olímpicos de 1956 antes de cerrar hace 15 años— se tornó demasiado costosa debido a que el presupuesto de 50 millones de euros del gobierno no serán suficiente.
Stoss ya está en campaña”, indicó el presidente del COI Thomas Bach. El COI podría elegir la sede para los eventos a finales de este año. Italia tiene 31 medallas olímpicas en eventos de deslizamiento, la mayoría en luge. La pista que se usó en los Juegos de Turín 2006 —que costó 100 millones de dólares— fue desmantelada en el 2012 debido al alto costo de operación y de mantenimiento.
