About this episode

Utah is now the only bidder for the 2034 Winter Olympics, which has some outlets reporting that it’s almost certain Salt Lake City will be awarded the games (again). But not all SLC residents are convinced we need a do-over — including host Ali Vallarta. Catherine Raney-Norman, a four-time Olympian and chair of the Salt Lake City-Utah Committee for the Games, makes her case for bringing the Olympic dream back to our city.
