This announcement by Prime Minister Narendra Modi not only confirms Bharat’s bid to host the 2036 Olympics but also underscores the nation’s keen interest in hosting the 2030 Youth Olympics. It’s a testament to India’s growing stature on the global sports stage.
Bharat is hosting the IOC session for the second time, and this momentous event comes after a gap of about 40 years, with the last one being the IOC’s 86th session held in New Delhi in 1983. This significant event showcases our commitment to the Olympic movement and its ambition to become a prominent player in the world of sports.
Bharat has a commendable track record when it comes to hosting multi-sport events. Having laid the foundation for the Asian Games, with the sole exception of the 2010 Commonwealth Games, our nation has successfully hosted several sporting events. A recent highlight was the triumphant organization of the MotoGP, showcasing our capability to handle global sports events with aplomb.
