OLYMPICS IN UTAH? The International Olympic Committee has a delegation in Utah visiting competition, ceremony and athlete village venues that could be a part of a 2030 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
“We think Utah is probably the best place in the world to host winter Olympic games,” said Fraser Bullock, the President & CEO of the Salt Lake City–Utah Committee for the Games.
“The IOC is in town to conduct a technical review of all of our venues to see what’s in place and what’s not,” said Bullock."Fortunately, in Utah we have everything in place, our venues are gorgeous." “We are ready to host the games, it’s not if, it’s when, and hopefully it’s 2030,” said Derek Parra, who won a gold and bronze medal in speed skating in the 2002 games.“Hopefully, I guess my goal is that they see that we’re committed to sport, we have been the state of sport, we’ve been in the Paralympic and Olympic movement for over 20 years and we are still doing it right now today.”
