The organizing committee for the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics says there have been delays and rising costs associated with preparations for the games coming to Milan in less than three years.
Workers operate inside the construction site of the Olympic Village at the Porta Romana former railway yard, in Milan, Italy, Wednesday, March 1, 2023. There is little sign the Winter Olympics are coming to Milan in less than three years. One of the major sites is still an overgrown wasteland and there is minimal construction work at what will be the Olympic Village. The organizing committee for the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics says there have been delays and rising costs.
MILAN — Perched incongruously on the 44th floor of one of Milan’s modern glass skyscrapers is a ski lodge. The “baita,” which is made of reclaimed wood from trees felled in a devastating storm that hit northern Italy in 2018, is in the headquarters of the organizing committee for the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics.
The offices themselves are festooned with Olympic rings, which also adorn the key cards guests are given to access the building. But outside, you’d be hard pressed to find any sign that the Winter Games are coming to Milan in less than three years. 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.
