PARIS — Tickets are about to go on sale for the next Olympics and nobody is quite sure if one of the major Winter Games venues will be ready in time. Organizers for Milan-Cortina in 2026 are rushing to build a controversial sliding center in Cortina while at the same time keeping open existing backup options in Austria, Switzerland and New York. Sales of hospitality packages that include the bobsled, luge and skeleton competitions start in November. General ticket sales for 2026 open in February and organizers won't know for sure until March whether the delayed sliding center in Cortina will be finished and approved.
