"We watched it on television. But it was a fun thing. It was an exciting time. I don't really have any heartburn with it, to be honest with you. I just think it's a good thing," she said, calling the Olympics an event that "helps build bridges."
Russell Card, of Highland, said he strongly approves of Utah hosting another Olympics because his accounting job kept him too busy to volunteer during the 2002 Winter Games. Now that he's retired, Card said he hopes to participate. Bullock, who served as the chief operating officer of the 2002 Games, said it's usually "incredibly difficult" to get 80% of the public to agree on anything.
