The Committee was set up by the State Government and will have a direct contact with Milan Cortina 2026. 

The bodies will collaborate regarding work and projects required for the Olympic Games.

The municipality of Antholz is located in the region and will serve as the host of biathlon events at the Olympic Games.

Arno Kompatscher, the Governor of South Tyrol, revealed that the Committee will work on ensuring the schedule and specifications for transport and sporting facilities are adhered to.

"A lot of public and private partners are involved in the preparation and implementation of this largest event in South Tyrolean sports history," Kompatscher said.

"One of the committee's tasks is therefore to involve and coordinate them all in good time and comprehensively.

"Especially with an eye on the ecological, social and economic sustainability that we demand."

Kompatscher will be joined on the Committee by Thomas Schuster, Mayor of the municipality of Rasen-Antholz.

Milan Cortina 2026 Foundation member Erwin Hinteregger will be present on the Committee, along with Paralympic representative.

Alex Tabarelli, the regional Italian National Olympic Committee President, and two members of the local biathlon group will feature on the Committee.

Further appointments include the director of the regional mobility department Martin Vallazza , the director of the regional local bodies and sport department Marion Markart, and Maurizio Mazagg, the director of the Special Mission Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

Antholz is a regular host of International Biathlon Union (IBU) World Cup competitions.

The Italian venue also hosted last year's IBU World Championships.
