The 2026 Winter Olympics have just wrapped up with 40 local athletes competing as what is fondly known as Park City Nation, athletes who train with one of the seven Youth Sports Alliance (YSA) partner winter sports teams, as well as athletes with strong ties to Park City or who call the community home. Park City Nation athletes represent an impressive 19 percent of Team USA, highlighting the outsized role this mountain community plays on the world’s biggest stage. Born out of the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Games, YSA has spent over two decades supporting young athletes in Summit County through access, opportunity, and Olympic dreams. This presentation will highlight YSA’s roots, the incredible momentum of 2026, and how the organization is looking ahead to the return of the Games in 2034—right here at home.
