How three multi‐city Olympics could redefine sustainability for the Games

How three multi‐city Olympics could redefine sustainability for the Games

When Colorado voters rejected the Winter Olympics in the 1970s, they did so over two major concerns that are still present today: soaring costs and permanent damage to fragile mountain landscapes.Nearly 50 years later, the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics are addressed these concerns head-on and tested a new approach in which the Games are not concentrated in one city, but instead spread out across a region.The Games, jointly hosted by Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, spanned venues nearly five hours apart, offering a blend of vibrant urban life and alpine small‐town charm. For many visitors, the long travel between the eight cities was inconvenient, but for experts, the distance was precisely the point.“I think that every activity has an impact,” said Stefano Pogutz, a corporate sustainability professor at SDA Bocconi in Milan. “The point is to have an event that somehow [has] a balance between the positive impacts, in terms of economic impact and societal reward. On the other side, they [manage] to stay within the carrying capacity, in terms of natural carrying capacity of the area where they are organized.”This new model is directly in contrast with what has been historically known as Olympic “gigantism.”“There’s this issue in the Olympic Games about host cities having to build a brand new infrastructure for everything,” said Matthew Andrews, a historian from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who studies the intersection between sport and history. “In the 1976 Olympics in Montreal, it was called Olympic gigantism. And the critique there was that the city of Montreal built a brand new arena for everything. And so hosting the Olympics is super expensive.”This time, rather than creating a new set of venues, planners leaned heavily on pre-existing structures. “It means that Cortina, which hosted the Games way back in 1956, didn’t have to build a brand new modern ice center and a luge track and all of these things,” Andrews explained. “They’re kind of spreading the cost and using the existing infrastructures.”According to Pogutz, roughly 85% of the venues and facilities were already in place, which substantially reduces environmental disruption and local routine. He argued that had the games been concentrated in one single alpine town, the pressure and strain would have been far greater.“Just imagine the amount of people that travel to participate in the event,” Pogutz emphasized. “If it is a very narrow valley on the mountain or a place in the mountains, there is a huge amount of pressure. So, spreading that on a larger territory reduces the overall pressure. I think it’s good in terms of carrying capacity not to have everybody in the same place.”He also added that hosting everything in a small resort town would have required a complete transformation of the environment and of locals’ daily life. “It would have been a disaster, because from an environmental standpoint, you should have equipped the area for managing something that has — in history — a huge impact on nature in the very end. And also the people living there, because you change completely the routine for a while.”Visitors noticed the difference.“Actually, that’s one of the things that surprised me the most in this experience — how uncrowded it was,” said Susie Smith of Anchorage, Alaska. “Almost anywhere in America, it’s going to be insane. And actually, I was dreading that, but this is so lovely. You can just feel that small town culture of northern Italy and honoring the people and the culture and not over-inundating the community.”Aside from lowering the environmental consequences, the widespread nature of these Games also spreads economic benefits. Rather than funneling tourism into a single city for a few weeks, spreading out the venues allows the cities to share revenue and burden.“The world has limited resources,” Pogutz said. “So, if I look, also, at this event from a redistributive standpoint, I would prefer to have something that distribute the wealth and the prosperity on many places, instead of having something that goes in a very specific one.”Additionally, Pogutz explained, this approach could help transform future tourism patterns, encouraging visitors to explore multiple destinations rather than oversaturating an individual spot.Organizers are also thinking past the Closing Ceremony. The athlete villages built in Milan are expected to be transformed into student housing after the Games, which addresses a shortage in the city. “Milano is a city where we have more than 100,000 students at the universities,” Pogutz said. “It would be around 15%, probably, of the population of the city. So we need to have more options.”2026 Milan Cortina OlympicsJun 2, 2025Here are all the venues for the 2026 Milan Cortina OlympicsAccording to Andrews, the Milan Cortina strategy reflects a broader shift in future Olympic planning. Cities with existing infrastructure, like Los Angeles in 2028, will be highly favored and cities that have hosted before might do so again.“This is going to happen more and more,” Andrews emphasized. “Cities, locales that have already hosted the Winter games — that have already hosted the Summer games — they’re going to be hosting games in the future.”He also noted that environmental credibility has become essential to winning hosting bidsb ut also winning the new generation of viewers — a big reason why the 2034 Winter Olympics will be hosted in Salt Lake City, Utah.“If you want to host the Olympic Games now, you better make the argument that these are going to be the most environmentally friendly games ever, even if you don’t mean it,” Andrews said.If successful, this model would demonstrate that the Olympics are no longer about changing the city to fit the Games, but instead, changing the Games to fit the city.This story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.

South Korea KOSPI hits record high as tech rally triggers Kosdaq sidecar

Korean stocks hit a record high on tech strength, with a Kosdaq sidecar briefly triggered.Summary:KOSPI surged 2.46% to a record 5,642, breaking above 5,600 for the first timeTech stocks led gains, with Samsung Electronics up 4.0%Kosdaq programme trading was briefly halted after sidecar activationForeign investors were net sellers despite the rallyWon weakened while benchmark bond yields fellSouth Korean shares rallied to a fresh record high on Thursday, with the benchmark KOSPI rising 2.46% to 5,642.37, surpassing the 5,600 mark for the first time. The advance came as markets reopened following a three-day holiday break, with investor sentiment lifted by a strong rebound in US technology stocks overnight.Heavyweight semiconductor names drove the gains. Samsung Electronics jumped 4.03%, while SK Hynix added 1.48%, reflecting renewed optimism in the global chip cycle. Battery maker LG Energy Solution rose 1.77%, while industrial and auto names also participated in the rally. Hyundai Motor gained 0.40% and Kia climbed 2.32%, while POSCO Holdings advanced nearly 4%. Market breadth was positive, with 583 of 927 traded issues rising.The rally was strong enough to trigger a volatility control mechanism in the junior Kosdaq market. Programme trading was halted for five minutes after the Kosdaq 150 futures contract surged 6%, activating the Korea Exchange’s “sidecar” rule.Sidebar: What is the Korea sidecar rule?The sidecar is a temporary volatility control mechanism designed to curb excessive swings in derivatives-linked markets. It is triggered when Kospi 200 or Kosdaq 150 futures move sharply, typically by 5–6%, within a short period. When activated, programme trading (computer-driven arbitrage linked to futures) is suspended for five minutes. The rule does not halt all trading, but it slows algorithmic flows that can amplify momentum, helping stabilise the market during rapid moves.Despite the equity surge, foreign investors were net sellers, offloading shares worth 485.6 billion won. The Korean won weakened against the US dollar, while bond markets firmed. Three-year treasury futures rose and benchmark yields fell, with the 10-year yield down nearly 4 basis points.The KOSPI is now up nearly 34% year-to-date, highlighting strong momentum in Korean equities even as currency weakness persists.

Former Prince Andrew arrested following Epstein files revelations

Former Prince Andrew arrested following Epstein files revelations

Police arrested Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on Thursday following weeks of revelations over the former prince’s friendship and dealings with Jeffrey Epstein.Thames Valley Police said it arrested a 66-year-old man on suspicion of misconduct in public office, which carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment in the United Kingdom.The police force, which covers an area in southern England where the former Prince Andrew used to live, did not name him, as is standard practice under British law. Asked whether Mountbatten-Windsor had been arrested, the police responded with a statement.“We understand the significant public interest in this case, and we will provide updates at the appropriate time,” Assistant Chief Constable Oliver Wright said. “Following a thorough assessment, we have now opened an investigation into this allegation of misconduct in public office.”Police said they were searching two addresses in Berkshire and Norfolk. Andrew lived in Windsor’s Royal Lodge in Berkshire until earlier this month; his new home on the Sandringham Estate is in Norfolk.Earlier, news photographers captured what appeared to be unmarked police cars arriving at Andrew’s home in Sandringham.Mountbatten-Windsor has always denied any wrongdoing in connection to his affiliation with Epstein, and said he regrets the friendship.It caps years of growing pressure on Andrew, the brother of King Charles III and son of the late Queen Elizabeth II, over his yearslong friendship with Epstein, the late convicted sex offender and financier.It is extremely rare for a senior member of the royal family to be arrested. The last instance came in 2002 when Princess Anne, the sister of the king and Mountbatten-Windsor, was convicted under the Dangerous Dogs Act after her English bull terrier, Dotty, bit two children while walking in Windsor Park.British media said at the time it was the first instance of a royal being convicted of a criminal offence.This is a breaking news story.

Avi Yemini finds out haircuts in Somaliland are NOTHING like Australia

Subhead:Even in the most overlooked corners of the world, safe, prosperous democracies can exist ... and sometimes, you find them in the middle of a barber shop banter.#YouTube-embed:mLKmQL9HgpYDonate Sign the Petition ReportsOne of the most memorable experiences from my time in Somaliland was visiting a local barber to get a haircut — and, as usual, things didn’t go quite to plan.Our driver Ahmed hooked me up with a nearby barber shop ran by one of his relatives. From the moment we arrived, the banter was top notch; part joke, part cultural insight, all in good fun.The haircut itself became a stage for conversation about more than just style. While I got a low skin fade, we talked politics and Donald Trump. The locals love Trump for his honesty and the possibility of international recognition for Somaliland.
