Milan's Olympic Village: A Blend of History, Culture, and Passion

International Olympic Committee President Kirsty Coventry expressed admiration for Milan's Olympic Village, part of the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympics. She noted the impressive blend of Italy's history, culture, and passion, evident in every feature from the rooms to the dining hall.

Coventry, a renowned Olympic swimmer, visited the site located in the Porta Romana district. It is set to accommodate around 1,400 athletes during the Games, scheduled for February 6-22, 2026. The village was developed on a former railway yard, signifying a significant urban revamp.

The post-Games plan to convert the Olympic Village into student housing was especially praised by Coventry, who thanked the local authorities and companies for their involvement in the project. The initiative exemplifies forward-thinking urban development and sustainable planning.
