US EditionWhen the Flame Returns: Utah’s Long Game Toward a Historic 2034 Winter Olympics
Salt Lake City leverages legacy venues from 2002 for a privately funded, sustainable 2034 Winter Games, enhancing athlete development and community engagement, officials said.
- Salt Lake City secured the 2034 Olympic Winter Games, relying on a privately funded plan that reuses 2002 venues, including the Utah Olympic Oval and Deer Valley resorts.
- Long ago the 2002 Games established a local hosting culture as volunteers from 2002 still wear their jackets, supporting ongoing event efforts.
- The Utah Olympic Oval is known as the 'fastest ice on earth', with Utah Olympic Park ski jumps and sliding tracks still in operation, and lifts at resorts like Deer Valley never stopped spinning.
- With funding expected, federal, state and private funders may help upgrade venues, aiding tourism and strengthening the athlete pipeline by 2034, as officials anticipate.
- As a rare repeat host, Utah offers a preservation model, with families moving for access and former Olympians coaching, leaving a lasting community imprint before 2034.
