Salt Lake City's newest 31,000-pound art installation will recall plenty of Olympic memories and inspire future Olympic aspirations.
It brought Parra back to the Games' 1,500-meter speedskating finals, an event he won for his first and only career Olympic gold medal. After going through the emotions of winning, rounds and rounds of interviews and drug testing, the whirlwind day took him to the downtown OIympic Medal Plaza and the arch.
Parra now hopes that Hoberman Arch will inspire even more people as it returns to the public spotlight.Salt Lake City-Utah Committee for the Games Guests walk around the Hoberman Arch from the 2002 Olympics at the Salt Lake City International Airport on Tuesday. It was, at the time, the largest unfolding structure in the world, and athletes like Parra were able to view it up close during medal ceremonies.
Gordon Huether, an artist who has worked on several art installations at Salt Lake City International Airport, said the iconic art piece was "chopped up a little bit" when it was disassembled, while some pieces were also stolen before it was moved to a "secret location."
