134th IOC Session[]

Milan was elected as the host city of the 134th IOC Session in 2019. The 134th IOC Session would decide the host city for the 2026 Winter Olympics. Milan eventually decided to bid along with Cortina D'Ampezzo for the 2026 Winter Olympics, thereby forfeiting the 134th Session to Lausanne, Switzerland, as under Olympic Charter rules, the IOC Session deciding the host city of an Olympic Games, cannot take place in the same country that is bidding to host the Olympic Games being decided at that session. Milan and Cortina, won the rights to host the 2026 Winter Games at the 134th Session in 2019. [3]
