Salt Lake City to host 2034 Winter Olympic Games

International Olympic Committee members, on Wednesday, voted to formally award the 2034 Winter Games to Salt Lake City. With this announcement, Utah’s capital will be a repeat Olympic host more than three decades after it had the 2002 Olympics. Further, it will be the fifth time the U.S. has hosted the Winter Games.

Salt Lake won the bid for the 2034 game after an 83-6 vote which was considered only after a contingent of Utah politicians and U.S. Olympic leaders signed an agreement promising to lobby the federal government and push for shutting down the investigation and change the anti-conspiracy law.
