STORYLINE:
Tests were underway at the controversial Olympic sliding track in Cortina D’Ampezzo, Italy.
Several competitors went down the track to be used for next year’s Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics.
The government agency in charge of rebuilding the century-old sliding center in Cortina d’Ampezzo reported positive results for the test runs.
The Italian government rebuilt the century-old track despite calls from the International Olympic Committee to hold bobsled, luge and skeleton athletes at a venue in nearby Austria or Switzerland instead.
Officials from the international federations and the International Olympic Committee will determine whether to bestow preliminary certification for the track.
