No, nothing like Calgary's bid. The vast majority of the events on the Calgary bid plan will be held within a 90 minute drive from downtown Calgary.
If you look at the planned schedule for the 2022 Games, there will be 109 medal events. If those same events are held in 2026, 101 of those 109 medals will be competed for in either Canmore, Nakiska, or Calgary (subject to the curling location). Only 8 of the 109 will be competed for in Whistler.
The Italian plan has only hockey, figure skating, and short track being held in Milan (16 medals). The rest of the events will be held in either Cortina or various cities between Milan and Cortina.
The Swedish plan has all of the ice events (hockey, figure skating, speed skating, short track, and curling), cross country, biathlon, snowboard big air, and parallel slalom skiing to be held in the Stockholm area. Ski jumping and Nordic combined are planned for Falun, over 200km from Stockholm. The sliding events will be in Latvia, almost 500km from Stockholm. The remaining ski and snowboard events will be in Are, over 500km from Stockholm. A little over half the total medals will be awarded in competitions held within the Stockholm metro area. The rest will be over 200km away.
