This morning in Lausanne, the final guarantees from the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics and Paralympics bid were delivered, as required by the IOC in the methods and timelines envisaged. 

The bid’s journey has concluded with great satisfaction, after having involved the Italian Government, the cities of Milan and Cortina, the regions of Lombardy and Veneto, the provinces of Trento and Bolzano, CONI and the Italian Paralympic Committee.

From here on, all focus will be on the 134th IOC Session, which will announce the host of the 2026 Olympics on 24 June in Lausanne.
