SALT LAKE CITY — This week's visit to Salt Lake City by the International Olympic Committee is offering a glimpse at some of the ideas local organizers are considering to make the 2034 Games accessible to all Utah ns.
"We have 29 counties in Utah, so how can we bring sport and the Olympic and Paralympic values to all of our youth in those different 29 counties," asked Catherine Raney-Norman, Chairwoman of the local committee. "How can we put together programs that supplement what's already being taught in schools in a way that connects to the games and particularly to the international community?" asked Fraser Bullock, the CEO of the local bid committee.
"We want involved. We absolutely want them involved," answered Raney-Norman."When I look at some of my former teammates in speedskating, a winter sport, Erin Jackson is from Florida. Who would have thought a girl from Florida would be winning medals in a winter sport? As iI shared this morning, sport is for all."
