Winter Olympics Return to Italy Amidst Geopolitical Tensions

The Winter Olympics are set to return to Italy, specifically the northern Italian Alps, on Friday, despite a backdrop of significant global political turmoil, according to the New York Times. The Games will take place across four venues: Milan, Cortina d'Ampezzo, Predazzo, and Livigno, marking the first time the event will be simultaneously held in multiple locations.

Cortina d'Ampezzo was initially slated to host the Winter Olympics in 1944, but the Games were canceled due to World War II, the New York Times reported. Jules B, speaking to the New York Times, noted that the Milan-Cortina Games are happening in the most fractious political moment in the recent history of the Olympics.

Unlike the previous two Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, in 2018, and Beijing in 2022, which relied heavily on artificial snow, Northern Italy boasts established winter sports destinations, the New York Times noted.

The opening ceremonies will be held on Friday, with Italy being six hours ahead of the Eastern time zone in the United States, according to the New York Times.
