SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — Utah kicks off its first winter sports season since being selected to host the 2034 Winter Olympics and Paralympics, with more than a dozen competitions scheduled at venues from the 2002 Games.

The legacy venues, which partnered with ten international sports federations and national governing bodies, will showcase both elite and developing athletes throughout the season.

“These events are a testament to Utah’s strong sport and Olympic legacy, and they also provide a brief glimpse into the energy and excitement the world can expect in 2034,” said Jeff Robbins, president and CEO of the Utah Sports Commission.
