Milan-Cortina wins 47 votes in its successful bid to host the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Italy will host the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo.
IOC President Thomas Bach will abstain. That leaves 82 members, including the Emir of Qatar and the Princess Royal of Britain, who will all vote electronically from an auditorium in the SwissTech conference center in Lausanne.Members can abstain, while Bach can make the casting vote if there is a tie between the two bids.Italy Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte has taken to the stage to again stress his country's unity behind the bid for the 2026 Winter Olympics.
The red flag raised seemed to contradict the IOC's relaxed new bidding rules to help 2026 Winter Games candidates Stockholm-Are and Milan-Cortina underwrite their plans. Italy has endured years of austerity and its debt load is the second highest in Europe, after Greece. However, the Milan-Cortina bid is based in the two richest regions of the peninsula.
Lippi says:"What I can say is that never before has Italy given such a clear sense of solidity, of cohesion and of cooperation. It was something very beautiful."Three years ago it was forced to end Rome's bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics because of staunch opposition from the city mayor. And in 2012, then-premier Mario Monti scrapped the city's candidacy for the 2020 Olympics because of financial concerns.
Of the 95 members, the IOC says, four gave reasons for their absence including the Grand Duke of Luxembourg. Stockholm's city government coalition formed in October, and has not signed the IOC hosting contract, leaving Alpine resort Are to step up.Asked if winning Monday's vote would be his greatest test, Lofven said:"I spent four months last winter forming a government — that was a huge challenge.
