Bobsleigh track construction site clears up

Olympics 2026

The lights are approaching green. The work preparing the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympic Games are in full swing, with good news on the side of future bobsleigh, luge and skeleton track in Cortina. The progress of the structure was welcomed by Ivo Ferriani, president of the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (IBSF), duringa site visit last week. "As a technician, I can say that it is a beautiful track, he told Il Gazzettino. It is a modern facility, but at the same time a character track. The work done is fantastic. I believe that this new track will be an indelible testimony to the passage of the Olympic Games here for at least the next fifty years." Representatives from the IOC, the International Luge Federation (FIL) and the COJOP were also present. 68% of the work are now validated in the perspective of the pre-approval of the track at the end of March. The IBSF specifies that "The parties decided to continue to closely monitor progress, share information and meet again in mid-February.".
