Whereas, for more than 100 years, the Olympic and Paralympic Movements have--

(1) educated young people through amateur athletics;

(2) brought together athletes from many countries in friendly 
competition; and

(3) forged new relationships among athletes bound by friendship, 
solidarity, and fair play;

Whereas the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Games will take place in Italy from 
February 6, 2026, through February 22, 2026, and the Milano Cortina 2026 
Paralympic Games will take place in Italy from March 6, 2026, through 
March 15, 2026;
Whereas the United States Olympic and Paralympic Teams (referred to in this 
preamble as ``Team USA'') have won, between 2000 and 2026, 622 gold 
medals, 622 silver medals, and 559 bronze medals, totaling 1,803 medals, 
during the past Summer and Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games;
Whereas, at the 2026 Olympic Games, over 2,900 athletes from 93 countries will 
compete in 16 sports disciplines and 116 medal events, and at the 2026

Olympic Games, including 115 women and 117 men;
Whereas the United States has already qualified at least 36 athletes to 
participate in the 2026 Paralympic Games, with many more expected to 
qualify;
Whereas 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;
Whereas the many accomplishments of Team USA would not have been possible 
without the hard work and dedication of the many sports organizations, 
administrators, coaches, and family members who have provided critical 
support to the athletes;
Whereas the United States maintains a commitment to the safety and security of 
Team USA;
Whereas the United States Government is grateful to Italy for hosting the 2026 
Olympic and Paralympic Games;
Whereas, upon the conclusion of the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympic and Paralympic 
Winter Games, the United States will assume the role of host-country of 
the next Summer Games and stands ready to support the athletes and 
organizers of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic and Paralympic Summer Games 
and those of the 2034 Utah Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games; and
Whereas Team USA exemplifies rigorous competition, fair play, and the pursuit of 
dreams: Now, therefore, be it

Olympic and Paralympic Teams (referred to in this resolution as

2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games; and

the fans attending and athletes competing in the 2028 Los 
Angeles Olympic and Paralympic Summer Games, at events in both 
Los Angeles and Oklahoma City, and in the 2034 Utah Olympic and 
Paralympic Winter Games.
