Olympia 2026: Milan rings slowly awaken the anticipation!

in Milan, the Italian host city of the upcoming Olympic Winter Games 2026, the enthusiasm for the major event has so far been rather reserved. The Piazza della Scala, in the heart of the city, is decorated by a monument from five Olympic rings that lies between the world -famous opera house and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. Tourists like to pause to take photos of this symbol of the Olympic Games. Nevertheless, the general anticipation for the games in the city remains weak, which raises questions about the cultural connection and importance of the event. According to Süddeutsche Zeitung , the International Olympic Committee (IOC) under the direction of President Thomas Bach is expected on Thursday in Milan could deliver.

The construction projects that are supposed to contribute to preparation for the Olympic Games are currently underway in Milan, Cortina and Bormio. The construction industry is actively involved in these infrastructure projects, which is important for the local economy. Nevertheless, local media report delays and problems with these projects.

infrastructure and challenges

Despite the challenges in construction, the organization of the Olympic Games also offers opportunities for the development of the region. Historically, Olympic games have often contributed to the increase in the value of the environment and promoting tourism. One example is Switzerland that has been trying to organize the Olympic Games for more than 100 years and, with a total of 14 official candidates, is the most active country for winter games, such as the New Zurich Zeitung reported.

The discussion about the Olympic Games is not only about local infrastructure and economic projects, but also about the political dimension and responsibility towards the population. Historically, sport has a profound political importance that has to go beyond pure market interests and commercial considerations. Sustainable development and respect for the common good should be in the foreground in order to protect the credibility of the Olympic movement. The challenges associated with the organization of great sporting events are increasingly critically examined, especially with regard to environmental pollution and social effects.

A successful concept for the Olympics must be wanted both by the population and recognized by the IOC. This is impressive of past votes in which the views of the citizens often diverged by those of the political representatives. The upcoming games in Italy offer the opportunity to arouse public interest and to strengthen the connection between sport and social benefits, which has so far been a step -up issue.
