The Empire State is gearing up to make a pitch for the 2042 Winter Olympics, a move that would bring the games back to the upstate site of 1980’s “Miracle on Ice” — and to New York City for the first time. Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Monday an exploratory committee that will decide whether to bring the Winter Games back to New York State, with events split between Lake Placid and the Big Apple in a model similar to the Milano Cortino 2026 Winter Olympics, which held events in Milan and elsewhere in northern Italy.
