Salt Lake City, Utah, will host the Winter Olympics and Paralympics in 2034, International Olympic Committee members voted July 24. The committee also officially elected France to host the Winter Games in 2030 in the French Alps.
"A lot of the bid committee members have been working for over 10 years," she said. "I've been a part of this process for over three years. All of our hard work finally came together. We got the bid, and we are so thrilled to have the Olympics back in the U.S."
The last time the Winter Olympic Games were held in the U.S. was in 2002, also in Salt Lake City. The 2026 Winter Games will take place in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo. But before that, the 2028 Summer Olympics will take place in Los Angeles.
Before the location of the 2034 Olympics was made official, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox expressed his excitement to host the Winter Games during a welcoming event hosted by U.S. Embassy staff.
