MUMBAI, India — The International Olympic Committee ratified the recommendation that could lead to Salt Lake City hosting the 2030 and 2034 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in their 141st IOC session Sunday.
The recommendation came from the Future Host Commission, and was ratified without objection, according to a press release from Salt Lake City-Utah Committee for the Games. "Our strategy of staying ahead of the required steps in the process of obtaining venue and governmental guarantees at all levels has provided the IOC with an opportunity for a proven, reliable preferred host in Salt Lake City-Utah in 2034," said committee president and CEO Fraser Bullock in a statement.
The Future Host Commission will now make formal recommendations to the IOC Executive Board, set to meet from November 30. The double award could be made at the IOC Session next July, prior to the 2024 Olympic Summer Games in Paris, France.
