After the International Olympic Committee chose Salt Lake City to host the 2034 Winter Olympics, Utah finalized another milestone in its preparations for the events — selecting an organizing committee and board, whose leadership includes many known faces.

“We’ve been saying 10 years for a long time. Now it is nine years, and that clock keeps ticking,” Utah Governor Spencer Cox said at an event announcing the leadership team. “There’s a lot for us to do, and we have the right team in place to get it all done.”
