It is the fourth time that Italy has hosted the Olympic Games. In 1956, the Winter Games were in Cortina d’Ampezzo; in 1960, the Summer Olympics were in Rome; and in 2006, the Winter Olympics were in Turin.
It will take place over 17 days across Milan, and Verona, the latter best known for playing home to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and also across the stunning Dolomites, a UNESCO protected World Heritage Site. Ninety-three countries will send teams of about 3,500 athletes to compete in 22 events, including figure skating, ice hockey, snowboarding, ski jumping, bobsledding, cross-country skiing, and luging. Ski mountaineering, commonly called ' skimo, ' will be offered for the first time.
In this sport, athletes, commonly cyclists, swimmers, runners, hikers, and mountaineers, race uphill and downhill using mountaineering skills. The competitors carry equipment while they ski on light rubber skis or 'skins,' and then climb icy cliff faces to nearly 2,000m.
