The International Olympic Committee will find everything it’s looking for in a Winter Games host city when it examines Salt Lake City’s bid to stage another one, whenever that may be.

“We are the poster child of a place that could showcase a more sustainable and logical approach to hosting an Olympics, doing it cost effectively and doing it with folks who have experience,” Colin Hilton, who runs the Utah Olympic Legacy Foundation, said Wednesday at the University of Utah’s Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute.

(Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) Olympic/Paralympic Exploratory Committee Board member Fraser Bullock and fellow members of the Salt Lake Olympic Exploratory Committee voted Wednesday to recommend that Utah should pursue hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in 2030.
