The flame is set to travel an impressive distance of almost 12,000 km, passing through both Greece and Italy. This extensive journey is a testament to the unity and cooperation between the two countries as they prepare to host the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Games.<\/p>\n
A total of 10,001 torchbearers have been selected to carry the flame throughout its journey. These individuals will play a crucial role in maintaining the flame’s continuity and ensuring its safe passage to the final destination.<\/p>\n
The flame’s journey will culminate at Milan’s San Siro Stadium, where it will be the centerpiece of the opening ceremony on February 6th. This moment will mark the official beginning of the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Games, bringing together athletes, officials, and spectators from around the world.<\/p>\n
