BBC Sport: Winter Olympics ‘Trails Will Blaze’ Milano Cortina 2026
Limits will be pushed. Records will be broken. Trails will blaze.
The Italian Dolomites are a place of snow and ice. Sub-zero temperatures, mountains of blizzards and frozen lakes. But for two weeks in February 2026, the ice met the fire of trailblazing Olympic athletes from across the globe, as they descended on the Milano Cortina Winter games. World records were set alight. Personal bests were torched.
