Representatives of the Tokyo Olympic Movement's Milan and Stockholm Action Committees on Wednesday presented their candidacies for the 2026 Olympic Winter Games. The Swedish capital plans an icebreaker event in Sigulda and the Stockholm candidate Rihards Brisius , described Nordic demand as an answer to the challenges of the day when the Olympics will be organized in greater depth, AFP said.
The Olympic Winter Games of 2026 will no longer qualify for Stockholm and Milan, which, according to the Italian bid, offer part of the race at the Croton d'Ampeco ski resort. Before the meeting, SOC President Thomas Bach admitted that there was no Plan B for the 2026 Olympic Winter Games, if Milan and Stockholm were abandoned. Due to lack of public or political support, the cities of Sion in Switzerland and Graz in Austria, as well as the Canadian city of Calgary, refused to present themselves to the organizers. In turn, the Japanese city of Sapporo decided to qualify for the game in 2026 instead of four years later.
Swedish Olympic Committee President Mats Arjess described Stockholm's candidacy for the National Olympic Committee (ANOC) General Assembly as something new, alive and inspiring. In turn, Brisius pointed out that Stockholm is a beautiful, beautiful and sustainable city that offers everything you want.
"Our plan reflects the new realities of the IOC, which intends to use what you have and build as little as possible," said Brisius. "In Sweden, we have been building a business for many years," he added. "You have a city and the whole country that you can entrust to now provide all that is appropriate for the Olympic Movement."
In his presentation, the Mayor of Milan, Jozef Sala, emphasized that the Italian population strongly supported the plans for the organization of the Olympic Games. He referred to an IOC poll, in which 83% of the population of the region was in favor of the organization of the Olympic Games. The island has praised the "most beautiful mountains in the world" of the Alps and Milan, considered a symbol of world-renowned style and elegance. "
The organizers of the Winter Olympics 2026 will be convened in June in Lausanne, Switzerland.
