Celebration Evening– February 3, 2025. Hospitality Village – Nordic Ski Stadium Area
There’s less and less time until the Winter Olympic Games return to Italy, and the atmosphere of anticipation is starting to grow.
To celebrate this journey toward Milano Cortina 2026, we invite you to a special evening dedicated to memory, emotion, and the values that sport can convey like few other languages. “Waiting for the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics.” In the evocative setting of the Hospitality Village, next to the Nordic Ski Stadium, an evening of meeting, storytelling, and sharing will take place, where the glorious past of Italian cross-country skiing will meet the Olympic future that awaits us.
The evening will be entirely dedicated to two legendary chapters of Italian Olympic sport: the men’s 4×10 km relays that won the gold medal at the Lillehammer 1994 and Turin 2006 Games.
Two achievements that moved the entire world, symbols of determination, team spirit, and genuine passion.
They will be the true stars of the evening, ready to share with the audience stories, emotions, and anecdotes from those extraordinary victories that made millions of fans around the world dream.
The event will be enriched by the screening of original footage and archival images from the two memorable competitions, allowing everyone to relive the decisive moments of the races, the intensity of the challenge, and the joy of crossing the finish line.
It will be a journey into the history of cross-country skiing, told directly by those who wrote it through their talent and dedication. At the end of the evening, all attendees will be invited to join a toast of good wishes together with the athletes and guests, to celebrate the Olympic spirit and look forward with enthusiasm to the future that will lead us to Milano Cortina 2026.
It will be a friendly and convivial moment of friendship and sharing a chance to feel part of a great sporting community that continues to grow, united by the same values of passion, respect, and determination.
Participation in the evening is free and open to all enthusiasts, citizens, and visitors. An unmissable opportunity to relive together the emotions of great Olympic achievements and to prepare, with renewed excitement, for the upcoming Olympic Games at home.
