Why Milan / Cortina d’Ampezzo? According to the report of the IOC Working Group:
Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo present an attractive project, combining the advantages of a big European city and those of a popular mountain resort region in the Italian Alps. The candidature benefits from the region’s strong winter sports history, tradition and experience, as well as the Italians’ love and passion for sports. The project can also leverage the economic strength and prosperity of the northern Italian region. While planning is still at an early stage, the project has the potential to achieve the longterm goals of the cities and the region in line with Olympic Agenda 2020 / the New Norm.
