The University of Utah will play a critical role on the international stage in a decade
Salt Lake City was formally awarded the 2034 Winter Olympics following a Wednesday vote by the International Olympic Committee in Paris, which gives Utah its second Games after hosting in 2002.
But its victory came only after a dramatic decision to revise the host-city contract that Salt Lake City and Utah officials had signed. That change would allow the International Olympic Committee to pull the Games if any effort were made to undermine the authority of the World Anti-Doping Agency, the global regulator of doping in sports.
Salt Lake City-Utah 2034 will mark the fifth time the Winter Olympics have been held in the U.S. The first three were in Lake Placid 1932, in Squaw Valley in 1960 and again in Lake Placid in 1980.Lake Placid 1980 was, of course, the setting for the famous “Miracle on Ice” men’s hockey game in which the U.S. team, composed of amateurs, defeated the Soviet Union and then went on to defeat Finland and win gold.
