FYI Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Which is pretty much what I said here: https://www.gamesbids.com/forums/topic/28527-which-one-will-win-and-what-is-the-vote-difference/?page=4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hektor Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 The statement about Stockholm having to build the speed skating facility is a bit ridiculous. When you see a picture of the current facility in Baselga di Pine, you see easily that the Italian facility will have to be built from anew as well. Plus the risk of having a white elephant in a city of pop 5,000 is a bit higher than with an ice rink in Stockholm. Also the Ice Hockey 1 does not exist either.

yoshi Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Speed skating will surely be moved to Torino in the end - they’ve done that kind of thing before. Would be a good litmus test of the IOC & their commitment to new ways. As for ice hockey 1, I would’ve thought Milan is big enough to have 2 indoor arenas & make them both work.

Torino can also solved this. It's only 1.50 hrs. from Milan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not challenge that Milano is big enough for 2 arenas (3 in fact if you count the one for figure skating), I challenge the fact that it seems to be happily forgotten in the list of new constructions on Milan side. I guess it is the usual trick of "we would have built it anyway " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
