Olympia 2026: Inspection in Antholz

“South Tyrol is ready to make its contribution to the 2026 Winter Olympics, provided that Italy or Milan and Cortina are awarded the organization,” explained state governor and sports councilor Arno Kompatscher on Tuesday after the local inspection by the evaluation committee of the International Olympic Committee in Antholz. “It is important for us that the games are characterized by sustainability, both in terms of infrastructure and mobility,” says Kompatscher. He pointed out that a large part of the competitions would take place in the Dolomites and therefore in the UNESCO World Heritage Site, which offers a unique backdrop but also requires protection.

The IOK evaluation committee will visit all competition venues included in Milan and Cortina's bid for the Winter Games until April 6th. After the detour to Cortina, the visit to the biathlon center in Antholz was on Tuesday, and in the afternoon the delegation traveled on to Trentino. Malagò is impressed On their South Tyrol leg, the delegation was accompanied by CONI President Giovanni Malagò, Kompatscher, the mayor of Antholz, Thomas Schuster, and the president of the Biathlon World Cup Organizing Committee, Lorenz Leitgeb. CONI boss Malagò explained that the evaluation committee was impressed by the exceptional know-how that it found in Antholz. It is no coincidence that Antholz secured the hosting of the 2020 Biathlon World Championships. Malagò praised the fact that despite the already high level of the facility, further investments are being made in improvement and innovation. The decision will be made on June 24th The report of the IOK Evaluation Committee, which will complete its visits to possible competition venues on April 6, will form a basis for the decision on the awarding of the 2026 Winter Games, which the International Olympic Committee will make on June 24, 2019 in Lausanne. The only competitor is Stockholm. If the Milan-Cortina candidacy is successful, Antholz will host the Olympic biathlon competitions in seven years.
