Disaster in the hockey palace of the 2026 Olympics. Holes in the building. And in the ice
The situation at the hockey palace in Milan, where the 2026 Olympic Games matches will be played, resonated in various media.
On Friday, the first match took place at the palace, which was a test of the building’s preparation for the 2026 Olympic Games. The Italian Cup match took place, which revealed many problems.
What surprised me most was the extremely poor quality of the ice holes formed in it; This situation posed a danger to the players and did not allow the match to take place normally.
Ice problems are reportedly not that difficult to solve, but there are other challenges as well. The building itself is not yet completed. There are holes where builders do not have time to complete the work.
This means the room temperature is unstable, making ice problems difficult to resolve. But the organizers promise to sort everything out before the tournament starts.
The Olympic hockey tournament begins on February 5 with women’s team play.
