Congratulations Utah!
Just as we were all starting to feel the love of the summer games in Paris, we get the great news that the IOC has chose to bring the winter games to Salt Lake City just 10 short years from now.
Salt Lake City previously hosted the Winter Games in 2002.
The announcement was mostly a formality – Salt Lake City was the only site under consideration by the IOC. The committee was VERY impressed at the condition of the facilities used in 2002 that can be reused.
Fans in Utah gathered at Washington Square for the 3am local time announcement. It was 11am in Paris. A cauldron was lit at Rice-Eccles Stadium at the University of Utah to mark the games’ return.
The Winter Games of 2026 are scheduled for Italy, near Milan, between Feb. 6-22.
Los Angeles will host the Summer Games of 2028 from July 14-30. Los Angeles previously hosted the 1932 and 1984 Olympics, joining Paris and London as the only cities to host three.
The 2030 games appear to be headed to the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur regions from Feb. 8-24 that year.
The games go back Down Under in the summer of 2032 in Brisbane.
