“Today we can touch the future with our own hands. The Cortina’s new bobsleigh track is not just a sports infrastructure: it is a symbol of our commitment, our determination and what Veneto and Italy can offer to the world. This work will represent, once completed, a challenge won, a masterpiece that combines engineering, tradition and respect for the environment. It will be ready, as promised, for the Olympic Games Milano-Cortina 2026, and I am sure that it will become one of the most iconic images of this edition”. The President of Veneto said this today, Luca Zaia, who carried out an inspection of the bobsleigh track construction site.

Together with Zaia, the Olympic Games Executive Director Christophe Dubi, the president of Coni and of the Milano Cortina 2026 Foundation Giovanni Malagò, the CEO of Simico Fabio Massimo Saldini and the technicians of the MIT.

“Here – added Zaia – we are not only building a sports facility, but a piece of history that will remain for future generations. Thanks to the workers, the workers, the engineers and the companies: each of you is contributing to a dream that is becoming reality. Veneto and Italy deserve to host such an important work, which will not only be a space dedicated to sports competition, but also a place for meeting, tourism and territorial enhancement. Cortina, with its tradition and charm, will be an extraordinary ambassador for our country. This is a collective victory, made possible by the collaboration between institutions, technicians and territories. Together – he concluded – we are building something extraordinary”.
