The image displays an indoor ice hockey arena located in Rho, Italy, observed from an elevated perspective above the ice level. In the immediate foreground, a tall, bipedal mascot with light grey fur, a pink nose, and an open mouth stands facing the viewer. The mascot wears a light blue neck accessory and features the "Milano Cortina 2026" logo with the Olympic rings on its chest. It is positioned behind a dark barrier with vertical metal railings. Beyond the barrier, a brightly illuminated ice hockey rink is in progress. Numerous individuals are on the ice, including hockey players in green and black uniforms on the left side, positioned near a goal net, and players in white and red uniforms with officials in black and white striped shirts on the right. Pucks are visible on the ice surface. The rink's perimeter boards display "Milano Cortina 2026" branding and Olympic rings. Along the perimeter behind the rink boards, multiple personnel are present. On the left, camera operators with professional video cameras are situated. On the right, individuals in dark clothing observe the ice, one seated on a barrier. The background reveals tiered spectator seating, largely occupied, surrounding the arena. The upper structure of the arena consists of a complex system of metal trusses, overhead lighting fixtures, and numerous suspended national flags, including those of Italy, Germany, France, Japan, and South Korea. The entire scene is brightly lit by artificial overhead lights.
