Congratulates SLC-Utah Olympic Committee on their tireless efforts to bring the Games back to the Beehive State
July 25, 2024 - WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) on Wednesday celebrated the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) vote to officially award the 2034 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games to Salt Lake City, Utah. The decision was made at the 142nd IOC session in Paris, France, today following a final presentation by the Salt Lake City-Utah Committee delegation for the Games.
“During those games, Utah demonstrated to the entire world its unique spirit of service and fellowship. And Utah is well-prepared to host the world once again for the Winter Games. We are a leading hub for winter sports; our economy is resilient and growing; our sporting venues and infrastructure are well kept and regularly used for competition; and of course, we have the “Greatest Snow on Earth,” Senator Romney continued.
“I want to congratulate and thank all those who put in tireless work to make this happen—especially Fraser Bullock, who led the effort—as well as state leaders. I look forward to cheering on Team USA as they compete in the Beehive State in 2034,” Senator Romney concluded.
