PARIS – Preparations for the Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics are back on schedule, with snow making and infrastructure work progressing well across all venues, International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) president Johan Eliasch said.
Speaking one month before the start of the February 6-22 Games, Eliasch said recent cold temperatures had helped organizers address earlier concerns over snow farming and snow making at key sites including Cortina d’Ampezzo, Livigno, Bormio and Val di Fiemme.
“Yes, it has,” Eliasch said when asked whether his confidence had grown. “The preparations are advancing very well. We’ve had cold temperatures, which helps. And right now, it looks like there should be no issue to complete everything on time as planned. So that’s very good news.”
