SALT LAKE CITY – Needless to say, many Utahns (and non) were ecstatic about the IOC’s vote to bring the 2034 Winter Olympics to Salt Lake City Utah.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that Salt Lake City will host the 2034 Olympic Games. The announcement came from Paris early Wednesday morning.

After receiving the ‘preferred host’ designation late last year, Utah can now look forward to hosting its second Olympics over 30 years after the 2002 Winter Olympics.
