Today marks one year to go until the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy. The ski resorts are getting ready to co-host the event, marking the return of the games to a traditional European venue for the first time in two decades.

Thursday officially marked one year until the opening ceremonies of the 2026 Winter Olympics, hosted for the first time by two cities: Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.
