What is the significance of Turin, Italy, hosting speed skating events in the 2030 Winter Olympics, awarded to the French Alps?

The 2030 Winter Olympics, awarded to the French Alps, will include speed skating events in Turin, Italy, at the Oval Lingotto, a venue from the 2006 Turin Olympics. This decision follows unsuccessful bids by Piedmont to host events in the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics. The inclusion of Turin showcases a shift towards geographically dispersed Olympic Games, a model praised by Italian Olympic Committee president Giovanni Malagò.
