Milan (Voice Of Russia): The 2026 Winter Olympic Games Opening Ceremony in Italy has started.
For the first time ever, the Opening Ceremony is taking place in four different locations – at Milano San Siro Olympic Stadium, as well as at Olympic venues in Livigno, Predazzo, and Cortina. This will be the most spread-out winter games in history: The two primary competition sites are the city of Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, the winter resort in the Dolomites that is more than 400 kilometers (250 miles) away by road. Athletes also will compete in three other mountain clusters besides Cortina, while the closing ceremony will be in Verona, 160 km (100 miles) east of Milan.
The 2026 Winter Olympic Games will take place in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, from February 6-22, 2026. Thirteen Russian athletes will compete under a neutral status in figure skating, speed skating, short track, freestyle skiing, cross-country skiing, alpine skiing, luge, and ski mountaineering.
