Salt Lake City in 'Targeted Discussions' to Host 2034 Winter Olympics
The International Olympic Committee praises Utah's existing infrastructure, public support, and fiscal responsibility as key strengths in their bid.
- Salt Lake City has been chosen by the International Olympic Committee to enter 'targeted discussions' for hosting the 2034 Winter Olympic Games.
- The city's existing infrastructure from the 2002 Winter Games, public support, and a 'very complex' master plan with no capital investment were cited as positives.
- The final decision for whether Salt Lake City will host the 2034 Games will not be made for another six months, ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris.
- Salt Lake City stands as the only city the IOC is speaking to host the 2034 edition of the Olympic Games.
- Utah's ability to host the Games without taking on capital investment is a testament to the state's fiscal responsibility.
