Hand-rolled, kettle-boiled, baked to perfection. Worth every minute at the bakery.
Summary
The David Chipperfield-designed Milano Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena will not be fully complete in time for the 2026 Winter Olympics, according to International Ice Hockey Federation president Luc Tardif. While the arena will host Olympic ice hockey events, some areas including the main entrance, VIP areas, and media facilities will remain unfinished. The venue is part of a larger redevelopment project in Milan's Santagiulia district, with construction delays attributed to the complexity of the project and supply chain issues. Despite the incomplete state, organizers assure that the arena will be functional for the Games.
