USOC ‘ideally’ eyes Winter Olympic bid in 2030, seeks more info from IOC

The U.S. Olympic Committee wants to bid for the Winter Olympics, probably in 2030, but first needs more information from the International Olympic Committee.

“I put a stake in the ground that we are interested in hosting the Winter Games,” USOC chairman Larry Probst said he told members of the U.S. Olympic community at the USOC Assembly in Colorado Springs on Thursday. “Ideally, that’s probably 2030, so that there’s no confusion with preparations for [Los Angeles] 2028 [Summer Games].”

USOC board members discussed the pros and cons of possible 2026 or 2030 Winter Olympic bids on Friday.
