Jannik Sinner took part in the build-up to the Milano‑Cortina Olympics by volunteering as a ticket taker on a special promotional train days before the Games.
The world No. 2 joined Italian Paralympic fencing champion Bebe Vio aboard the “All Conditions Express,” greeting passengers as the train departed Milan on February 5.
The initiative, backed by Sinner’s sponsor Nike, is aimed at promoting the regions hosting the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Sinner was named an ambassador and the first official volunteer for the Games in 2024.
“I’m proud to contribute to the success of such a unique event,” Sinner said at the time.
Despite expectations, Sinner did not attend the Opening Ceremony. Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that he chose to focus on training ahead of the Qatar ExxonMobil Open, which begins on February 16.
