IOC awards 2034 Winter Games to Salt Lake City
PARIS -- Salt Lake City was formally awarded the 2034 Winter Olympics following a Wednesday vote by the International Olympic Committee in Paris, which gives Utah its second Games after hosting in 2002.
A watch party was planned at 3 a.m. local time -- 11 a.m. in Paris -- to celebrate the announcement. Large crowds were expected at the event that coincides with a state holiday marking the date Mormon pioneers entered the Salt Lake Valley in northern Utah. Olympic fanatics were already starting to gather downtown and pitch tents before sunset Tuesday.
