While the 2026 Winter Games won't officially begin until later this year, Milan is already buzzing with Olympic energy through vibrant cultural hubs popping up across the city! National Olympic Committees have transformed spaces into immersive #OlympicHouses, blending sports, tech, and local flavors 🎿🍝.
At Brazil House, visitors test curling skills on rooftop tables and tackle Alpine skiing simulators with pro-level difficulty settings. Slovakia House lets fans channel their inner hockey star with puck-handling challenges 📸. But the real showstopper? Italy House's exhibition featuring racing gear from Alpine skier Federica Brignone – fresh off her super-G gold medal run!
"These spaces aren't just about competition – they're cultural bridges," says one visitor snapping selfies with interactive art installations. From fashion showcases to VR sports experiences, the houses prove winter sports fever is spreading faster than melted gelato 🍦.
With the Games months away, Milan's Olympic Houses offer a sneak peek at what makes this global event a celebration of both athleticism and international connection 🌐❄️.
