The Olympic cities of Salt Lake City and Sapporo are well placed in the race to host the 2030 Winter Games, as is the city of Barcelona, which is bidding on the Pyrenees region.
It’s starting to crowd the gate for this Olympic Games.
Vancouver has already confirmed its interest in a joint bid with Whistler and the Lilwat, Tsleil-Waututh, Squamish and Musqueam First Nations.
The city of Salt Lake in the US aims to bring the Games back to Utah, and the bid manager believes so.
We will organize the Olympic Games. The question is whensaid Fraser Bullock in a television interview.
Is it in 2030, from the first opening available on the IOC calendar? Or will the IOC make a double award, simultaneously naming the city that will organize the 2034 Winter Olympics?
The IOC refused to move forward with the way it continued. An announcement is to be made in 2023. Some media in Salt Lake City are reporting that the decision will be announced in May 2023.
I have my fingers crossed for the 2030 Games, but, anytime, we will be readyhe says every day Deseret News from Utah.

Under the new bidding process, the IOC appears to want to review a maximum of four Candidate Cities.
Three of them have already organized the Winter Olympics, Sapporo (1972), Salt Lake (2002) and Vancouver (2010).
The Japanese bid is now holding the IOC’s attention after the success of the Tokyo Games in 2021, despite the complicated health situation due to the pandemic.
Barcelona, in Spain, remains showing interest in the Winter Games after arranging the summers in 1992. The Catalan city is considering a joint candidacy in the Aragon region, which remains in the mountains massif of the Pyrenees.
The Spanish Olympic Committee (COE) was originally supposed to submit a bid in 2020, but the health crisis postponed the project.
Letters of intent from the regions of Catalonia and Aragon, as well as by the Prime Minister of Spain, were officially sent to the IOC in July 2021.
The IOC technical team visited Salt Lake City a few days ago and inspected its facilities. He will do the same in the next few days in Vancouver.
However, a similar visit to Spain was postponed.
