For the first time, in a long time, the world will feel like is truly Winter Olympics is back. The last Winter Olympics in 2022 in Beijing, China was a disaster thanks to COVID-19 ravaging the planet and as a result, fans were banned from attending the games. Taking place in northern Italy, (the official name is “Milan-Cortina 2026” - however, other towns in Italy are hosting events in these Olympics) this is the first Winter Olympics since 2018 that fans will be able to attend the games and the first Winter Olympics hosted in Italy since the Torino 2006 games.
