In a video published on his social networks, the former President of the Organizing Committee for the Salt Lake City 2002 Games, Mitt Romney, congratulated the supporters of the candidacy for 2034, saluting the work carried out in recent years to ensure the return of the Games in Utah (United States).
CAs a symbol to congratulate Salt Lake City in its quest for a new edition of the Winter Games, Mitt Romney spoke in front of a framed copy of the 2002 Olympic torch, of the Games which he presided following the overhaul of an Organizing Committee then shaken by serious difficulties in terms of preparations and financing.
Thanks to its intervention at the time, the Organizing Committee was able to raise the bar and deliver the global event on time.
Twenty-one years later, Salt Lake City and Utah maintain respect and esteem for Mitt Romney, who is also one of the representatives in the American Congress, serving there since 2019, following having successively been Governor of Massachusetts (2003-2007) and Republican Party candidate in the 2012 presidential election.
Also, it was not surprising to note that the one who will retire from politics next year, several times in recent yearsraised the prospect of a new edition of the Winter Games in the “Beehive State”.
Mitt Romney therefore unsurprisingly expressed his full satisfaction following the announcement by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) of Salt Lake City’s entry into the crucial phase of targeted dialogue with a view to awarding the 2034 Olympic Games.
In a video of around thirty seconds published on the evening of Wednesday November 29, 2023, the elected Republican explains as follows:
Congratulations to the Salt Lake City, Utah team who appear to be well on their way to winning the 2034 Olympic Games!
Hats off to Fraser Bullock and the whole team, the Governor, the Mayor and everyone who made this possible.
And I sincerely hope that in 2034 we will experience the same type of transformation that we experienced in 2002, that we will be able to welcome the world, serve the world, demonstrate the great qualities of humanity and also highlight the people of the world. ‘Utah.
Congratulations !
It is not yet known whether Mitt Romney will hold an official position in the future with what will become the 2034 Organizing Committee, following the full review of the guarantees and confirmation in the summer of 2024. of Salt Lake City and Utah as Host by the IOC.
On the other hand, it appears certain that he will keep an informed eye on the preparationsas he has been able to do since the emergence of the candidacy.
