USA Swimming has announced that the 2020 Olympic Trials will return to the CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Neb., for the fourth time.
The facility, typically the home of Creighton University’s Division I men’s basketball program, will again seat 13,000-plus fans for eight days of swimming, as it has for the Olympic Trials in 2008, 2012 and 2016.
“USA Swimming has had great success in the city of Omaha,” USA Swimming interim CEO Mike Unger said. “If you could have predicted the amount of success we’ve had in this city and in this venue, you would have been crazy. It’s been awesome for this sport and the city of Omaha.”
“On behalf of the Omaha Sports Commission, I can’t tell you how excited we are to bring a fourth straight U.S. Swim Trials to Omaha,” Omaha Sports Commission President Chris Kircher said. “While today’s agreement reflects a lot of hard work, months of discussion, it also reflects the strength of the partnership the Omaha Sports Commission has with USA Swimming. The late Chuck Wielgus, who we’ll miss greatly, was a great person to partner with. It’s upon that foundation that we continue forward.”
“The folks associated with USA Swimming were making the point that this really prepares our swimmers to go the Olympics,” Nebraska governor Pete Ricketts said. “Omaha is a great sports town, it is a great venue to host events like this, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have the 2020 Olympic Swim Trials coming back to Omaha.
The Trials will be held June 21-28, 2017, a few days earlier than the 2016 Trials (June 26-July 3) due to the Tokyo Olympics beginning earlier (July 25) than those in Rio (Aug. 6). Unger indicated that USA Swimming expects all eight nights of the meet to be broadcast live on NBC Sports channels.
“This is the perfect setup for us, with the warmup pool right next door, the competition pool right behind us and a city so compact,” Unger said. “It is the perfect city for us.”
