Turin 2006 Promotes Games

The Turin Organising Committee (TOROC) has launched a regional promotion, “Enter the Games” to inform area residents about the 2006 Winter Olympic Games taking place in the Piedmont capital from February 10 to 26, 2006.

A truck 16 metres long and weighing 32 tonnes containing information and multimedia tools as well as testimonials will tour 10 Piedmont locations during fairs and cultural events.

TOROC President Valentino Castellani said, “we want to reach out to all Piedmont citizens”.

TOROC is also considering a national tour.

Meanwhile, the renovation of the Olympic Stadium, site of the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, has begun, with part of the existing stadium to be demolished before work begins on its reconstruction.

And TOROC received permission from the army to install the ice skating rink for curling competitions in a famous riding school in Italy. The plant will undergo renovation over the next few months.
