Olympic cross-country ski champion Veronica Stepanova in her column on the website, she said that Russia should be the first country where the Winter Games could take place.
The Winter Olympic Games will take place in Milan, Italy in February 2026.
— The reality is that the IOC has fewer and fewer opportunities to host the Winter Games. Thomas Bach himself recently pointed out that only 15 countries on three continents now more or less meet the criteria for bidding to host the Winter Olympics. The main requirement is that the venue be “climatically reliable” for the competition.
It was then that I heard the first sensible idea from the IOC in a long time: “A likely long-term solution to the situation would be to decide on a policy of rotating a small number of regular hosts of the Olympic Games ‘winter. »
Translated from the IOC into Russian: let’s come together, let’s stop this circus, let’s choose two or three, maybe four places on the planet where the Winter Games can take place and where the local population will not be opposed to them.
I am sure that Russia should become the first of these places. And not necessarily in the Caucasus. I’m writing this from Laura, where the 2014 Olympics were held. It’s a wonderful place, it’s great that it was built and maintained. Tens of thousands of people come here to exercise and play sports. Now these are needed elsewhere. The Urals, Siberia and the Far East – this is where the Olympic Games should be held! — wrote Stepanova.
Stepanova won gold at the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing in the relay.
