Milan-Cortina Olympic Games: Some venues still not finished

The International Olympic Committee said on Sunday that the Milan–Cortina Winter Olympics will live up to expectations as the world’s premier winter sports event, despite last-minute efforts to prepare key venues, including the long-delayed Santagiulia ice hockey stadium, ahead of next week’s opening. Organisers are racing to complete sites across Milan and the mountain clusters, even as Reuters reported on Saturday that a cable car in Cortina intended to transport spectators to the women’s alpine skiing events will not be ready in time for the Games’ 6 February start.
