All that stands between Utah and another Olympics is a vote by the the International Olympic Committee's general membership after the Salt Lake City-Utah Committee for the Games announced Thursday that all of its paperwork has been accepted by the IOC.
MLB, NHL complexes aren’t among the venues yet, but a downtown sports and entertainment district would be “magical.”
“Today was a really important and pivotal step,” said Catherine Raney-Norman, the committee’s co-chair, “in us continuing to put forward Utah as a candidate for the 2034 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games” Anita DeFrantz, an IOC board member since 1986, said, “The ease with which will be received, I think, is exemplary.”
Even if Utah’s bid doesn’t produce another Olympics — though it seems almost a foregone conclusion that it will — it certainly produced a lot of paperwork. The 5,000-page host submission addresses 43 questions asked by the IOC, ranging from a Games vision to guardrails against corruption. It also contains 53 spreadsheets, 26 site plans, 18 studies, 14 tables and infographics and two maps.
