That of 2026 will be a ‘Winter Olympics wide-ranging. There will not be just a city, a province, a territory to host the athletes: but three regions, which will have to coordinate well to give the best possible show, at low costs, obtaining global visibility in return. Milan-Cortina 2026 is gearing up, little by little, to work on an event that will have to deal not only with Turin 2006, the last Italian Olympic opportunity, but with the resources of Beijing 2022.
Vincenzo Novari, managing director of Milan-Cortina 2026, explained to Corriere della Sera how the organization intends to move to obtain the best possible mobility plan between the various competition venues. In fact, in cascade, it should also be a useful investment for citizens. “The configuration of our territory is such that the connections between Milan, Veneto, Cadore and Valtellina are delicate. But we have the technology on our side: thanks to the simulations of traffic flows, we know the nodes to be solved. The Longarone variant will be needed to shorten the time to Cortina, eg. We will configure the calendar of events to reduce the outflow: the arrival of the public is delayed, the outflow instead, on average, is all together. We will intervene on this: we will adjust the maximum load of the competition venues, reducing the volume of revenues, we will make sure that people leave gradually. Like? A series of initiatives will lengthen the post-race“.
On how the road and rail improvements, absolutely necessary in some areas affected by the Olympic perimeter, there is confidence. “We are working with partners: we will involve the best skills in the country, we are closing agreements, and the ecosystem of universities will help us in transport engineering. Furthermore, the wealth of skills we have in the management of large events within Coni and Cip will be fundamental. We are not starting from scratch. The infrastructure agency, led by Luigi Sant’Andrea, is taking officeReplied Novari. A lot of money will also be needed, of course: 500 million euros will come from the IOC, which will be added to the other items (for example the main sponsors) for a total budget of 1.6 billion euros.
