Italy’s Milan-Cortina bid wins vote to host 2026 Winter Olympics; Salt Lake boosters look to 2030 or 2034

Now that the 2026 process is solidified and the International Olympic Committee chose the joint Milan-Cortina bid over Stockholm and Latvia on Monday, will the Winter Games be returning to Utah in the far-away future? The Beehive State is once again in the mix after the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee chose Salt Lake City as a bid city for a future bid, either in 2030 or 2034.

The IOC, which chose Torino to host the 2006 Games in Italy 13 years ago, again went with Italy Monday, as the Milan-Cortina bid won with 47 votes to Stockholm’s 34.
