Introductions
President Coventry: “(On Milano Cortina 2026) We’re all very excited. A lot of the team are already in Milano Cortina. Myself and the team will be arriving on Monday. So we’re looking forward to being on the ground, but really very excited about everything that has happened.”
“So far, we’ve seen really good test events, with great learnings for the Organising Committee. All hands are on deck and working very closely with all of the IOC departments on the last few areas that they need to focus on.
“The Games are going to be incredible. I’m getting really, very excited about being able to get there and see the blend of tradition and innovation. The beautiful venues that some of you have already spoken about, the magnificent venues that are there.”
“We’ve seen the Olympic Torch Relay that has been reaching all corners of Italy and involving all walks of life – with just the most remarkable imagery that we are getting to see. And we’re very excited about that.
