An indoor ice hockey game is captured from an elevated perspective in an arena in Milan, Italy, designated for the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. The brightly lit ice rink occupies the foreground and midground, surrounded by clear protective glass and white dasher boards. Flags of the Czech Republic are visible on the boards. On the ice, multiple female ice hockey players are in action. One team wears red jerseys with blue accents, white pants, and red helmets. The opposing team wears white jerseys with red accents, black pants, and white helmets. A goaltender in white and red pads is positioned near a red-framed goal with white netting. At least one referee, dressed in a black and white striped jersey, is also on the ice. Behind the rink, tiered seating rises, filled with a substantial crowd of several hundred spectators. Many are wearing red and white apparel, indicative of team support. Overhead, a black protective netting spans from the top of the glass towards the ceiling, separating the audience from the ice. Above the seating and around the arena structure, various advertising banners and LED screens display "MILANO CORTINA 2026" and "IT'S ICE HOCKEY" branding, along with the Olympic rings logo. The arena ceiling features extensive lighting rigs, speaker arrays, and metal support trusses. The overall environment is a professional, well-lit stadium setting during an active sports event.
