“Athletes come here to prepare themselves for Games in other places. That’s going to continue,” he said. “Hopefully, we get the Games in 2030. Ultimately, we’ll have the Games back. Sometime or other, we’re going to get them back, because this was the site of the best Olympics in the winter history that the nation has ever seen, or the world has ever seen.”
At the anniversary celebration, hundreds of people tried their hand at curling, simulated biathlon shooting and other demonstrations.
