SALT LAKE CITY ( ABC4 ) — As Salt Lake City continues its road to the 2034 Winter Olympic Games, outgoing International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach will be visiting the Wasatch Front.
Bach is scheduled to be in the Salt Lake City area for a two-day visit on Friday, Sept. 27, and Saturday, Sept. 28. He plans to meet several athletes at various venues and gather alongside the Games’ supporters in the Beehive State.
