""Our complex organisational model is falling into place," said Andrea Varnier, the chief executive of these Games, as organisers on Wednesday marked 100 days to the opening ceremony on February 6th. They were using the event in Milan to unveil the full designs for the medals and to reiterate, as their president Giovanni Malago told AFP, that preparations for the Games are under control."
"Christophe Dubi, Executive Director of the Games at the International Olympic Committee (IOC), acknowledged that the far-flung 2026 event, spread across northern Italy from Milan to the Dolomites, present a challenge for fans because "you don't go from Milan to Cortina by fast train". Organisers are making an effort to create a sense of community for athletes and fans. There will, for the first time, be two Olympic cauldrons: one in Milan and in Cortina d'Ampezzo."
Organisers marked 100 days to the February 6 opening and unveiled full medal designs in Milan. Preparations are described as under control and the complex organisational model is falling into place. The Games will be spread across northern Italy from Milan to the Dolomites, creating transport challenges that limit rapid travel between venues. The opening ceremony will be held at San Siro with simultaneous parades in three mountain competition venues. For the first time there will be two Olympic cauldrons, in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo. Evening Champions Park events in Milan, Bormio and Val di Fiemme aim to create a shared festival atmosphere.
