Like many sporting events across the country, this summer's U-S Olympic Swim Trials in Omaha were canceled.
On Friday morning, the Metropolitan Entertainment and Convention Authority announced that the U.S. Olympic Team Swimming Trials would be returning to Omaha in 2021. The Olympic Games will be held in Tokyo next July.
The 2021 Olympic Trials event schedule will remain the same across the 15-session, eight-day event.
“We are incredibly thankful to the USOPC, NBC, the Omaha Sports Commission, the Metropolitan Entertainment & Convention Authority and every other partner involved in successfully moving an event of this magnitude to new dates that will best prepare our team to succeed in Tokyo in 2021,” USA Swimming Chief Operating Officer Mike Unger says. “Fans can expect to witness the same incredible level of competition and entertainment throughout this highly-anticipated event.”
Ticket purchasers will have two options for the 2021 Olympic Trials event:
·Reissuance of new tickets in the same seats for the same sessions
·Ticket refunds within six months
