Italy Secures 2028 Winter Youth Olympics Hosting Rights
Rewritten Article:
Hey there! Let's talk about the upcoming Winter Youth Olympics in 2028. Guess where they're happening? You got it! The Italian Alps will be the host, more specifically in Northern Valtellina, Trentino, and Cortina. These regions encompass both the Dolomites and areas nearby.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) made this decision during their 143rd Session in Lausanne, Switzerland. Interestingly, Italy was the only candidate put up for voting, having been selected by the IOC Executive Board following a dialogue phase between them. The Alpine candidacy was unanimously approved, receiving 89 votes in favor, one against, and two abstentions.
The Alps will play host to all winter Olympic events in the coming years. The 2026 Games will take place in Milan-Cortina, the 2028 Youth Games will be right here, in the above-mentioned venues, and the 2030 Olympics will be held in the French Alps. Intriguingly, the 2034 Games have been scheduled for Salt Lake City, USA.
The Winter Youth Games, slated for January 15 to 29, 2028, will include the seven Olympic winter sports: biathlon, bobsleigh, curling, ice hockey, luge, skating, and skiing.
Several existing venues from the 2026 Olympic Games will be used. These include the Stelvio Alpine Skiing Center in Bormio, the Aerials and Mogul Park in Livigno, the Snow Park in Livigno for freestyle/snowboard, the Cortina Sliding Center for bobsleigh, skeleton, and luge, the Predazzo Ski Jumping Stadium, the Tesero Cross-Country Skiing Stadium, and the Cortina Olympic Stadium for curling.
When it comes to athlete accommodations, none will be more than an hour from their competition venue, and seven of the eleven venues will be less than 15 minutes from their reference locality.
While the specific venues within these regions are not detailed, they're set to support a diverse range of winter sports[1][2]. So, that's a wrap!
