Milan-Cortina Olympics
The Milan-Cortina Olympics refer to the 2026 Winter Olympics, which will be jointly hosted by the cities of Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo in Italy. This marks the fourth time Italy has hosted the Olympic Games, following previous events in Cortina (1956), Rome (1960), and Turin (2006). The multi-venue plan aims to utilize existing and historic winter sports facilities across northern Italy, celebrating the region’s alpine heritage.
