Logical and expected. The 134th IOC session, initially scheduled for Milan in September 2019, will not take place in the Italian city. At issue is an article in the Olympic Charter specifying that a candidate city for the Games cannot host an IOC session during which the award of the event concerned by its candidacy must be decided. Milan being associated with Cortina d'Ampezzo in the Italian project for the Winter Games in 2026, certainly fragile but officially still alive, the elective session for the month of September was moved. According to The print, the IOC informed the Italian delegation coming to visit it, Wednesday September 19, that it would be organized in Lausanne.
