if you're surprised to learn that the Winter Olympics are just a month away, don't worry, you're not alone, the people building all the venues in Italy also appear to be surprised the Olympics are just a month away

(2019) THE OLYMPICS: OK Italy, we're giving you 2026, can you pull it off? ITALY: Yes, we just have to build one arena, very easy, the easiest of any Olympics (2026) THE OLYMPICS: OK we're here! how is that one arena looking? ITALY: (sitting at a cafe, reading a newspaper) mi scusi????

You say "all the venues" but this is basically the only new venue they needed to build. Everything else was existing or temporary. The Italians couldn't build one (1) arena on time, when they had about 7 years to plan.

This would seem to confirm something I've heard a few times about the pace of Rome's building.

a potential oversight by the CEO of the 2026 Milano-Cortina Olympics, Your Italian Waiter Who Took Your Order And Immediately Walked Outside To Smoke A Cigarette And The Next Time You Saw Him, 15 Minutes Later, He Was Just Sitting Down At A Table Calmly Drinking Coffee

As an AC Milan fan that has watched them take nearly a decade to try to renovate or replace the San Siro and only recently managed to get the city to sell it to them and Inter, I can’t say I’m surprised.

You know that dream people have about finding out there’s some college class they didn’t actually complete years and years ago Well

It’s also slightly shorter than expected because, like me, whoever designed it assumed the only difference between NHL and IIHF dimensions was width.

Honestly, they could've just reused the one in Torino. It's, what, an hour by Frecciarossa?

Did you how you say want the walls? If you wanted walls you have to say. Also we have no ice. We are out of the ice but we have two pairs of roller blade. You can have for extra…10 million euro.
