The deal will see the organisation continue to promote US Olympic and Paralympic movements.

The USOC is based 70 miles from Denver in Colorado Springs. 

Denver is one of eight cities on the programme and following the extended agreement they will host national and international events, promote USOC sport outreach initiatives and support permitted programmes and clubs in the city.

Denver Sports will work with local community organizations and schools to host three events which promote the USOC's Finding Leaders Among Minorities Everywhere programme and Olympic Day.

"We are pleased to renew our partnership with Denver Sports," said Alicia McConnell, USOC director of training sites and community partnerships.

"Denver's dedication to Team USA and youth outreach is exactly what we look for when developing partnerships to enhance the US Olympic and Paralympic Movements."

As a partner Denver Sports will be given permission to use the official USOC logo in marketing initiatives.

"This is a tremendous honour for Denver and we are very proud to be a partner in helping the many programmes of the USOC," said Matthew Payne, executive director of Denver Sports, following the announcement of the extended agreement.

Denver Sports, who as an official affiliate of Visit Denver, attempt to promote the city as a potential venue to event organisers and Payne believes that the renewed agreement highlights Denver as a major sports destination.

"Continuing to host world-class events like the 2014 World Lacrosse Championships, the 2014 BMW Championships and the US Pro Challenge bring economic development and major media attention.

"And, they are a lot of fun for residents to attend."
