Wednesday was one of the most iconic days in Utah sports history.
It was the day when Salt Lake was awarded the XXVII Olympic Winter Games, on Pioneer Day, no less, capping off a nearly ten-year project to bring the Games back to Utah.
And people did not waste any time in recounting the memories of those Games, including the Salt Lake Tribune.

And owner Ryan Smith and his wife Ashley didn’t waste any time either promoting their new brand for 2034.
They made a special appearance in Paris with Sports dans la Ville, a French non-profit helping youth from disadvantaged neighbourhoods find opportunities through sports.
We’re about ALL sports, not just winter sports…and that includes the @utahjazz & @utahhockeyclub. A massive thank you to @RyanQualtrics, who brought t-shirts for young Paris athletes to celebrate our new partnership with @SDLV_Officiel.#SLCUT2034 pic.twitter.com/moKHbb3bhF
