SVT inspecciona la arena Santa Giulia días antes del puck drop de los Olímpicos de Milano

SVT Sport visitó la arena de hockey Santa Giulia en Milano justo días antes de que comience el torneo olímpico de hockey sobre hielo el 5 de febrero. Aunque la gerente del sitio Veronika Muhlhofer se mantiene optimista tras los exitosos partidos de prueba de enero, un constructor duda de la finalización a tiempo en medio del trabajo ininterrumpido de más de 1.000 obreros.

Tras las preocupaciones previas de la NHL por los retrasos en la construcción de la arena Santa Giulia —detalladas en coberturas anteriores—, el recinto para el torneo de hockey de los Olímpicos de Invierno de Milano 2026 está en fases finales días antes de que comience el evento femenino el 5 de febrero. Ambos equipos Tre Kronor jugarán allí en la instalación de 16.000 asientos. La visita de SVT Sport reveló a trabajadores pintando, limpiando y puliendo las 24 horas. La gerente del sitio Veronika Muhlhofer expresó confianza: «Solo estamos puliendo ahora. Se está pintando y limpiando, pero ya se puede ver qué arena tan hermosa es». Abordó titulares pasados sobre retrasos, señalando que los partidos de prueba de enero satisficieron a los jugadores e impresionaron a representantes de la NHL. El constructor Luca, entre los más de 1.000 en turnos, fue escéptico: «No creo que terminemos a tiempo». La atmósfera de alta tensión subraya los desafíos continuos antes del lanzamiento del puck.
