(260314) -- CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, March 14, 2026 (Xinhua) -- Skiers take a cablecar at the ski resort Faloria, which hosted the giant slalom competition in the 1956 Winter Olympic Games, in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, on March 5, 2026. Cortina d'Ampezzo, nestled in the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a winter sports destination that has hosted the Winter Olympics twice. The 1956 Winter Olympic Games left enduring venues such as the Cortina Curling Stadium, which hosted the curling events at the 2026 Winter Olympic Games and is hosting the wheelchair curling at the Paralympic Winter Games. Cortina's winter sports heritage dates back to 1897, with legendary slopes including the Olympia delle Tofane. As the 2026 Paralympic Winter Games conclude on March 15, Cortina will host the closing ceremony. The flame's extinguishment here will symbolize unity, bridging 70 years of Olympic legacy.
