The provincial government of
Bolzano on Tuesday said No to a bid by the Dolomites for the
2026 Winter Olympics.
The proposal was advanced by Veneto Governor Luca Zaia of the
rightwing populist League.
"At the present time zero-impact Games are impossible", said
Bolzano Provincial President Arno Kompatscher.
Kompatscher issued an appeal to the International Olympic
Committee (IOC) "to revise the criteria for the Olympic Games,
otherwise you won't be able to find localities in Europe
disposed to host them".
