The 2002 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games helped Utah establish itself as one of the world's premier high performance and recreational winter sports destinations. Today, all venues that hosted events for the 2002 Games are still in use, and will serve as the same venues for the 2034 Games. They currently offer sport programs for youth, serve as community recreation centers and provide world-class training facilities for Olympic athletes and global events. Beginning Utah's rich Olympic legacy, the 2002 Games brought us incredible stories, like Kelly Clark’s first U.S. gold in snowboarding and Vonetta Flowers becoming the first African American athlete to win winter gold. But beyond the medals, the Games had a huge economic impact on Utah, driving over $5 billion into the state’s economy, creating thousands of jobs, and boosting personal income by $3 billion. Thanks to the exposure from hosting the Olympics and Paralympics, along with boosts in tourism and upgraded sports infrastructure, Utah’s economy has seen steady growth ever since, propelling Utah forward in becoming a year-round sports hub. Skier visits jumped by 72% between 2002 and 2019. This growth has also heated up the housing market, making Utah an increasingly popular spot for both new residents and investors. As Utah prepares for the 2034 Games, the state is once again gearing up to welcome the world and continue its tradition of excellence, solidifying its place as a year-round sports hub where history is made, legends are born, and the love of sport is thriving. #SummitSIR #SportsLegacy #UtahPride #GlobalUnity #WinterGames #AthleticExcellence #UtahHistory #RealEstate
