Omaha Will Host 4th Consecutive U.S. Olympic Trials In 2020

Peyton Manning is not the only one who loves Omaha. USA Swimming apparently does as well.

The national governing body announced on Monday that the U.S. Olympic Team Trials will return to Omaha, Nebraska, for the fourth consecutive occasion in 2020.

The meet will take place in the CenturyLink Center from June 21-28 and will serve as the lone selection meet for the 2020 U.S. Olympic swimming team to compete in the Olympic Games in Tokyo.

The USA Swimming Board of the Directors approved this decision during its meeting in Colorado Springs, Colorado, last weekend.

"Bringing the Olympic Trials back to Omaha has always been our priority, as the city of Omaha, the Omaha Sports Commission and the Metropolitan Entertainment & Convention Authority have worked diligently to make this arguably the best swimming event in the world and one of the premier events in all of sports," USA Swimming Interim Chief Executive Officer Mike Unger said in a statement.

"The CenturyLink Center Omaha venue, surrounding facilities, hotels and restaurants provide the ideal set-up for coaches and athletes from a competition perspective and also to showcase the sport to fans. Omaha has done a tremendous job welcoming our swimmers, coaches, fans and families with open arms."
