At the invitation of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the leading representatives of the Olympic Movement met today for the 13th Olympic Summit, which was held at Olympic House in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Chaired by the IOC President, the Olympic Summit forms part of the ongoing dialogue and consultation on subjects of significance for the future of the Olympic Movement. With a view to the upcoming presidential election, the IOC President invited all seven candidates to join the Summit.
About Milano Cortina 2026: With just over one year to go until the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026, the Summit acknowledged that venues are now rapidly gearing up, with many in the final stages of preparation. They noted that, as the winter season gets underway, test events will be taking place, many of which are in existing facilities that host international competition annually. The next critical milestone will be in March 2025, with the pre-homologation of the new sliding centre in Cortina.
Other topics discussed at the summit include the following:
Olympic Games: Paris 2024
Olympic Esports Games
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Protection of Athletes
Economic Outlook
