For the 1,559 residents living in the Milan Olympic Village during the 2026 Winter Games, a word to the wise: you could do a lot worse than popping into the complex’s Zona Mentale, or “Mind Zone.”

The 2026 Winter Olympics opened competition Wednesday night with the first curling matches on the schedule in Cortina only for the action to come to a brief halt because of a power outage.

In Milan you could easily miss that the Games are about to start.
