The 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy are a culinary delight for athletes, particularly pasta lovers. As the spiritual home of pasta, Italy offers Olympians the perfect opportunity to carbo-load on the carbohydrate-rich staple, crucial for fueling their performance. Approximately 600 kilograms of pasta are served daily across the athletes' villages. The International Olympic Committee even created a limited-edition pasta shape modeled after the Olympic rings. Restaurants in Italy are also embracing the connection between pasta and athletic performance, offering special dishes and slogans to cater to the Olympians' dietary needs.
