The 2030 and 2034 Winter Olympics will be held in the French Alps and Salt Lake City, Utah, respectively.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) confirmed the two locations as the sole candidates at its Executive Board meeting in Paris, France, on Tuesday, according to its official website.
In selecting the French Alps as the sole candidate for the 2030 Games, the IOC praised the goal of transforming the Southern and Northern Alps into winter sports destinations through a transition to a sustainable tourism strategy in the face of climate change.
France also has a successful track record of hosting international events, including the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in Courchevel and Meribel last February.”
Following further discussions led by the French and US National Olympic Committees, the IOC will confirm the final selection of the Games at its Session 142 in Paris next July. 카지노사이트
