IOC reluctantly accepts plan for 2026 Cortina bobsled track
The International Olympic Committee reluctantly accepted plans to spend 50 million euros ($60 million) to rebuild an abandoned bobsled track in Cortina d’Ampezzo for the 2026 Winter Games — as long as the funds stay out of the official games’ budget. After the IOC periodic coordination commission's visit on Monday, which was held virtually, the Olympic body said it “again expressed its concerns with regard to the legacy of the track.” The IOC had suggested that instead of spending heavily to rebuild the Cortina track, that sliding events for the Milan-Cortina Games could instead be contested at a venue in neighboring Switzerland (St. Moritz) or Austria (Igls).
