With the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics less than a year away, organizing committee CEO Andrea Varnier said he has “absolutely no doubt” that sliding sports will be held in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, after testing went well last week.
There was concern that the venue for bobsled, luge and skeleton might not be ready in time for next February's Games.
