It’s official: the leadership of the 2034 Winter Games is in place.
Known as an OCOG, Utah’s organizing committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games will be under the leadership of three Utahns, former bid leader Fraser Bullock, former Utah House Speaker Brad Wilson and Gov. Spencer Cox’s Olympic adviser, Steve Starks.
The organizing committee board includes Utahns as well as representatives of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee, the International Olympic Committee and other sports entities. A smaller executive committee has also been formed, and more committees are expected.
