The Milan-Cortina Games are inspiring ideas. New York State Assemblyman Robert Carroll has expressed interest in replicating this model in 2042 with a bid from New York, which would host the ice sports, and Lake Placid, which would be the venue for snow sports.
« There is a tremendous opportunity to take advantage of these recently modernized facilities at Lake Placid and to connect them to New York City's state-of-the-art facilities – Madison Square Garden, Barclays Center, UBS Arena, Citi Field, Yankee Stadium, US Tennis Center – and to host the Winter Games without having to build new sports infrastructure " he confided to City & State.
Host of Winter Games in 1932 and 1980Lake Placid also hosted the 2023 Winter University GamesRobert Carroll calls for the establishment of an exploratory committee to examine the possibilities. We have spoken with officials at the state level, at the local level, directly with the mayor and the governor to promote this idea " he explains. I think that This definitely deserves to be examinedbecause we all have this Olympic spirit in our hearts "Governor Hochul commented on NBC.
One small drawback compared to the 2042 edition: the Winter Games will already take place in North America in 2034 and according to the principle of continental rotation, Asia would be the priority.
