Salt Lake City is poised to be officially awarded the 2034 Winter Olympics following a vote by the International Olympic Committee in Paris. This will mark Utah's second time hosting the Games, with the first being in 2002.
A watch party is scheduled at 3 a.m. local time to celebrate the announcement, coinciding with a state holiday commemorating the discovery of the Salt Lake Valley by Mormon pioneers. Enthusiastic Olympic fans have already started gathering downtown, showcasing the city's excitement.
