The Winter Olympic Games are making their way back to the United States!
Salt Lake City, Utah, will host the Winter Olympics and Paralympics in 2034, International Olympic Committee members voted July 24. The committee also officially elected France to host the Winter Games in 2030 in the French Alps.
Olympic champion and skier Lindsey Vonn, the chief of athlete experience for the 2034 Salt Lake City bid, joined TODAY on July 24 to share her excitement.
“A lot of the bid committee members have been working for over 10 years,” she said. “I’ve been a part of this process for over three years. All of our hard work finally came together. We got the bid, and we are so thrilled to have the Olympics back in the U.S.”
Vonn made her Olympic debut in 2002 in Salt Lake City at age 17 and went on to compete in the Winter Games in 2006, 2010 and 2018. She won three gold medals and is the only American woman to win an Olympic downhill gold.
“I remember this exact moment when Salt Lake City got the Olympics in 2002, and that’s what I dreamed of,” Vonn said on TODAY. “I dreamed of being in Salt Lake, and I achieved that dream. I know today there are so many children and kids watching TV right now, getting excited and dreaming of racing in 2034.”
The last time the Winter Olympic Games were held in the U.S. was in 2002, also in Salt Lake City. The 2026 Winter Games will take place in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo. But before that, the 2028 Summer Olympics will take place in Los Angeles.
Before the location of the 2034 Olympics was made official, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox expressed his excitement to host the Winter Games during a welcoming event hosted by U.S. Embassy staff.
“It’s a lot different this time around, I think. I think the Olympic movement needs Utah,” he said, per Reuters. “We’ve done this before, and we have a chance to give back in a very positive way.”
This news comes just days before the 2024 Paris Olympics kick off with the highly anticipated opening ceremony, which will include 592 athletes competing as part of Team USA. It’s an exciting time as competitions are already underway and continue through Aug. 11.
Viewers can tune in to watch the athletes competing at this year’s Olympics, including the opening ceremony on Friday, July 26, live across NBC, Peacock and Telemundo.
America’s cheerleaders and TODAY’s Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb, Al Roker and Craig Melvin will be co-hosting TODAY from Paris, giving viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the 2024 Summer Olympics.
“It’s really the first time the world is getting together without any restrictions. This is a true, post-pandemic Olympics. It’s behind us, and it’s so thrilling,” Savannah told TODAY.com in their joint cover story, with Hoda adding, “This is the Olympics we’ve been waiting for.”
