纽约州组建2042年冬奥会申办评估委员会 州长宣布拨款250万美元建「冰上奇迹」纪念碑
纽约州州长 Kathy Hochul 10月19日在纽约市召开 Lake Placid—纽约市奥运会与冬残奥会申办评估委员会首次会议，宣布组建一个约90人组成的委员会，评估纽约州申办2042年冬季奥运会的可行性。
委员会成员来自体育、商界、劳工界与社区等领域，将研究以 Lake Placid 与纽约市双城办赛的场馆、交通、财政与社区影响。Lake Placid 曾举办1932年和1980年两届冬奥会，当地奥运场馆由州属的奥林匹克区域发展局（ORDA）负责运营。
Hochul 同时宣布州政府拨款250万美元，建设「奇迹纪念碑」（Monument to a Miracle）项目，纪念1980年美国男子冰球队在 Lake Placid 击败苏联队的经典一战，以及五届奥运金牌得主 Eric Heiden。Hochul 表示，纽约州是一个「奥运之州」，拥有再次举办冬奥会的场馆基础与经验，委员会将就是否正式提出申办作出评估。
New York Forms Exploratory Committee to Evaluate 2042 Winter Games Bid, Adds $2.5M for 'Miracle on Ice' Monument
New York Governor Kathy Hochul convened the first meeting of the Lake Placid–New York City Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Exploratory Committee in New York City on October 19, announcing a panel of about 90 members to evaluate a possible New York bid for the 2042 Winter Games.
The committee, drawn from sports, business, labor and community organizations, will study venues, transportation, finances and community impact under a two-host model pairing Lake Placid with New York City. Lake Placid hosted the Winter Games in 1932 and 1980, and its Olympic venues are operated by the state-run Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA).
Hochul also announced $2.5 million in state funding for the "Monument to a Miracle" project, honoring the 1980 U.S. Olympic men's hockey team's victory over the Soviet Union in Lake Placid and five-time gold medalist Eric Heiden. Hochul said New York is "an Olympic State" with the venues and experience to host the Winter Games again, and that the committee will assess whether to move forward with a formal bid.
