Thomas Bach, the president of the International Olympic Committee, next weekend will visit some of the planned venues for Salt Lake City-Utah's 2034 Winter Olympics.
The game against Arizona, among other stops, will be part of retiring dignitary’s first visit to Utah since 2002.
Other stops on Bach’s itinerary include Utah Olympic Park near Park City, the Utah Olympic Oval in Kearns, the Grand America hotel and the planned site of the 2034 Athletes Village at the U. While on tour, Bach plans to meet with bid leaders, local officials, athletes and, according to a press statement, “Games supporters.”
He added that he is looking forward to Bach experiencing “firsthand our culture of Olympism, the preparedness of our venues, the enthusiasm of our communities for sport, and the deep roster of Olympic and Paralympic athletes who call Utah their home.”
