ROME — The track's essential structure is done. The ice is being prepared. And next week 60 athletes will come to test the controversial sliding center for next year's Milan-Cortina Olympics. Government commissioner Fabio Saldini says "the track's structure is done." He adds that "we had it in our calendars to finish by March 16 and that's when it was finished." Twenty workers preparing ice on the track day and night are slated to finish by Sunday. Then starting on Monday, athletes from 30 different countries will perform bobsled, luge and skeleton test runs in order to secure preliminary certification.
