President J. Stuart Adams and Speaker Mike Schultz issue the following statement regarding Utah hosting the 2034 Olympic & Paralympic Winter Games:
“Utah has officially been selected to host the Olympics once again, solidifying our position as not only the Crossroads of the West but also the Crossroads of the World.
“This decision marks a historic return after our state successfully staged the 2002 Winter Games. Even after the flame was extinguished at the closing ceremony 22 years ago, we’ve kept the spirit of the games alive. While we are thrilled for another opportunity to showcase our state’s natural beauty, participate in the festivities and reap the economic benefits that are sure to last for decades, we are committed to investing in projects that have long-term, lasting benefits for the entire state. With our world-class facilities and enthusiastic community support, Utah will deliver another unforgettable experience filled with amazing athleticism and a spirit of unity.”
