🎉 The countdown is on! With just 100 days to go until the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, excitement is peaking. Sports Scene's Zhu Mandan sat down with Andrea Monti, Chief Communication Officer of the organizing committee, to dive into the magic behind the opening ceremony theme: Armonia.
So, what’s Armonia? Think of it as a blockbuster soundtrack for life 🌟. Monti explains that the theme weaves together choral stories celebrating the Italian way of life—culture, innovation, and unity all taking center stage. It’s more than a show; it’s a “widespread” project that brings communities across Lake Como and the Dolomites into the Olympic spirit.
But the spirit of Armonia goes global. Monti expressed how the committee aligns with Chinese President Xi Jinping’s vision of building "a community with a shared future for mankind." 🤝 This shared vision shows how the Games can bridge cultures and spark international collaboration.
One of the core philosophies of Milano Cortina 2026? "Games adapt to territories." Monti reflects on lessons from the Beijing 2022 Games, spotting opportunities for Italy and the Chinese mainland to team up in innovation and expertise. From green technologies to immersive livestreams, the next Games promise fresh ideas on and off the ice.
Stay tuned as Armonia takes shape on the grand stage! Whether you’re a sports enthusiast, a business pro eyeing new markets, or just someone dreaming of travel and culture, Milano Cortina 2026 is gearing up to inspire us all. 🏂🎶
