Why figure skater Nathan Chen believes Utah should host another Olympics

“I know, firsthand, how inspiring the Olympics can be. Salt Lake is incredibly equipped to handle it, considering it had one already. And the infrastructure here and all the venues are amazing. So, I think this is a really great opportunity for Utah.'

“It’s a huge honor,” Chen, who moved to California when he was 12 to train in figure skating, said of the accolade. “I’m very excited to be here.”

“He’s a great Utahn who has done so many great things,” Adams said, “not just for the United States, but for the entire world.” Utah has been in talks with the International Olympic Committee about hosting either the 2030 or 2034 Winter Games and is considered a favorite alongside Sapporo, Japan, and Vancouver, Canada. Last month, the IOC sent a three-person technical team to tour Utah’s venues and offer feedback. That group also visited Vancouver and was expected to make stops in Sapporo as well as possibly Spain, another Olympic candidate.
