Sport
Turin also means sport: host city of the Winter Olympic Games in 2006,
it is a place where national and international sports events take place
all year long.
There is not only soccer with the Juventus team, but also athletics with
the Turin Marathon, rowing races and golf, played on prestigious golf
courses among the best in Europe, such as the following.
Torino 2006: a date for the whole city.
After the World Skiing Championships, the Olympic Winter Games. A recognition
of the city's sporting vocation, always a leading player in Italy and
internationally.
A victory won thanks to local resources and beauty, to the convinced support
of the entire city and region, to a programme of urban renovation that
has few equals in Europe.
At the beginning of the century, people were already skiing on the slopes
that will host the Olympic Winter Games. People skated on the ice in the
parks, and the first ice hockey matches were played in city squares. This
love for winter sports has always meant a profound link between Turin
and its valleys. This bond has been revitalized with the Olympic Winter
Games.
This is a great opportunity for everyone. For those who do not know Turin,
it will be a real discovery. For those who love it, it will be even more
enticing.
