Salt Lake making play for another Winter Games
By Lisa Riley Roche, Deseret News
Salt Lake City is already “ticking all the boxes” for another successful Winter Games bid, according to the head of a leading international Olympic publication.
“They’re doing all the right things,” said Ed Hula, founder and editor of the Atlanta-based “Around the Rings,” especially involving state and local government leaders in the newly formed Olympic Exploratory Committee.
The USOC has until March 31, 2018, to decide whether to advance an American city for 2026 or 2030.
A new bid process approved in July by the IOC for the 2026 Winter Games now allows for a full year of discussions with both national Olympic committees like the USOC and potential bid cities.
Denver and the Reno-Tahoe area have expressed interest in bidding for the Winter Games.
