Many high-performance athletes call the Utah Olympic Park their home. The U.S. nordic combined team moved from Steamboat Springs, Colo., to Park City in the summer of 2002. Many freestyle aerialists, including Olympic medalists Joe Pack and Eric Bergoust, train throughout the summer in the splash pool, working on their maneuvers for the upcoming season. The sliding athletes in bobsled, luge and skeleton make multiple trips to the Park for training and competition. The US ski jumpers also training regularly on the Olympic nordic hills.
In addition to the Olympic-caliber athletes, many recreational, club and developmental athletes train and compete at the Utah Olympic Park in summer and winter. This combination of athletes, from novice to high performance, means that visitors will likely encounter athletes in training year-round when they visit the Park. The chance to watch aspiring youth and Olympic athletes in training is an exciting part of the Utah Olympic Park experience.
While athlete training times are not guaranteed and are subject to change without notice, visitors are encouraged to check with the Host Desk for the athlete training schedule at the facility.
