U.S. Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) has joined Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and seven other Senate colleagues in introducing a bipartisan resolution supporting the United States national teams participating in the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris, France.
“For more than 100 years, the Olympic and Paralympic Movements have educated young people through amateur athletics; brought together athletes from many countries in friendly competition; and forged new relationships among athletes bound by friendship, solidarity, and fair play,” states the resolution. “The people of the United States stand united in respect, admiration, and pride for the athletes of Team USA and their athletic accomplishments, sportsmanship, grace under pressure, goodwill toward other competitors, and commitment to excellence.”
The resolution is also cosponsored by U.S. Senators John Hickenlooper (D-CO), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), James Lankford (R-OK), John Boozman (R-AR), Michael Bennett (D-CO), Alex Padilla (D-CA), and Laphonza Butler (D-CA). The full text of the resolution can be found here.
Before the opening ceremony, Senator Romney acknowledged more than 30 Team USA athletes with ties to Utah in a video message and wished them well as they compete in Paris.
