“We will do the dress rehearsals next year, they will be fundamental”

The overall organization of the Ampezzo portion of the 2026 Winter Olympics began some time ago but the pieces have been falling into place one by one in recent months. From the decision to operate the bobsleigh track during its first reuse in March 2025 to the organization of ski races in recent times. “But next year will be the key year – explains Stefano Longo, president of the Cortina Foundation -, the one where all the structures will be put to the test, because the Olympic Games have, yes, a very long road but also the road . which leads to their organization. And this cannot fail to be a success, even in the case of the Paralympic Games where 80% of the medals will be awarded to Cortina.”
