Salt Lake mulls a second Olympic bid

SALT LAKE CITY, July 21 (UPI) -- The Deseret Morning News says Salt Lake City might try for the 2018, 2022 or even the 2026 Olympic Games.

Although it's too early for any city to formally declare its candidacy, Utahans are starting to talk seriously about the chances of hosting another Winter Olympics.

Of course, other American cities are also talking about the same thing.

Less than a month ago, the International Olympic Committee awarded the 2010 Winter Games to Vancouver, Canada.

But Olympics analysts say that decision, combined with a long list of European and Asian candidates for 2014, makes it unlikely the Winter Games will return to North America until at least 2018.
