2036 Olympics: Race To Host Games To Become More Transparent

2036 Olympics: Race to Host Games to Become More Transparent 

The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has officially submitted its bid to host the 2036 Olympics on Tuesday (Nov 5) as the nation tries to get its name on the global sports map. The bid also includes intent to host the 2036 Paralympics.&nbsp;The IOA submitted a Letter of Intent to the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) Future Host Commission on October 1. While the bidding process is yet to start, more than 10 cities have shown interest in hosting the 2036 Olympics.

<h2>India submits bid to host Olympics</h2>

"This monumental opportunity could bring substantial benefits, fostering economic growth, social progress, and youth empowerment across the country," a source told India Today.

It has not been a hidden secret that India intends to host the 2036 Olympic Games, as the IOA has been preparing for the bid for some time. In recent years, India’s bid was strengthened having hosted the International Olympic Committee (IOC) general meeting headed by Thomas Bach. India also has a strong representation on the panel, further helping its bid to host the Olympics in 2036.

As things stand, Los Angeles in the United States will host the 2028 Summer Olympics, while Brisbane in Australia will host the 2032 Games. The IOC’s rules state that no continent can host back-to-back summer Olympics, paving the way for an Asian nation to host the Games in 2036.

Asia has hosted the Summer Games four times, including the 1964 Tokyo, 1988 Seoul, 2008 Beijing, and 2020 Tokyo Olympics. If successful with the bid, India could become the first nation from South Asia to host the Summer Olympics.

"India is preparing to host the 2036 Olympics. In this regard, the input from athletes who have played in previous Olympics is significant. You all must have observed and experienced many things. We want to document this and share it with the government so that we don't miss out on any small details in the preparation for 2036," PM Narendra Modi had earlier stated.

Indian Olympic Association officially submits bid for hosting 2036 Olympics

India's sports administrators would be "lobbying" hard during the upcoming Paris Olympics to brighten the country's chances of hosting the 2036 Games where they will push for the inclusion of indigenous disciplines like yoga, kho kho and kabaddi if their ambitious bid is successful.

The Sports Authority of India's Mission Olympic Cell (MOC) presented its detailed report on the measures needed for a successful bid to new sports minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Thursday.

"We met the new Sports Minister yesterday and handed him the report. The minister said he would need a few days to go through it. But he asked us to prepare another report on how sports can be a career option in the country, how to build interest among youth, how to bring private players into sports," a senior member of the MOC told PTI on conditions of anonymity.

"We are way ahead in preparing for the Olympic bid which will take place after Paris. But we will have to do a lot of lobbying with IOC during the Paris Games and we are completely prepared," the member added.

The inclusion of host country preferences will be a discussion for much later as the hosting rights of the Games have not been finalised. The decision is likely only after the International Olympic Committee has a new President after elections next year.

If India's bid succeeds at all, the proposed events will first have to be introduced as demonstration events in the 2032 Brisbane Games before getting a final go-ahead.

During the International Olympic Committee (IOC's) Congress in Mumbai last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi revealed India's ambition to host the Games in 2036, stating that the administration would "leave no stone unturned" in bringing the showpiece to the country for the first time.

The MOC member said that while the inclusion of these sports would help in enhancing India's medals tally in the 2036 Olympics, but the road ahead is not easy as the country will have to extend all possible support in building the base for these disciplines to a minimum number of participating nations.

"The sports ministry asked the MOC to prepare a detailed report about our readiness for 2036 Olympics, including identifying new sporting disciplines which a host nation can pitch for, how to control doping menace, bringing more accountability in the working of the national federations and identifying private entities who are interested in investing in sports," the member told PTI.

India push for yoga, kabaddi, kho-kho to be included in 2036 Olympics

India is all set to bid for the 2036 Olympics as the nation transforms its image on the global stage with another huge landmark. India enjoyed their best return at the Tokyo Olympics (held in 2021) when they won seven medals, including a gold. That success was followed by 107 medals in the Asian Games. However, according to India’s Sports Minister Anurag Thakur, the target now is not to just win medals at the Olympics but to host the multinational event and the nation needs to be ready for the big event.

<h2>Anurag Thakur asks India to be ready</h2>

"For 2036 Olympics India needs to be ready. Organising the Olympics will be a huge thing and India is ready for that. Whenever the bidding process begins, India will certainly bid with full power and will organise the Olympics in India," Anurag Thakur said on Tuesday.

India has hosted big events in the past but has never&nbsp;hosted the Olympics. The nation with the biggest democracy in the world hosted the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi while it was also the host of the 1982 Asian Games. However, bringing the Olympics to India will require a lot of effort and a helping hand from stakeholders.

India’s first step to being part of the process has seen them host the annual meet of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also backed the bidding for the 2036 Olympics and the nation is ready to get into the bidding war when the process begins.

India played a crucial role in getting cricket added to the Olympics and has been a member of the IOA committee. Cricket was added to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics during the IOC’s general meet in 2023 in India.

As things stand, the host nations for the next three Olympics are already selected with Paris being the hosts for the upcoming Olympics in August. This will be the third time Paris hosts the Olympics, with London being the only other city to record the feat. Paris hosted the Olympics in 1900 and 1924.&nbsp;

On the other hand, Los Angeles will become the third city after Paris and London to host the Olympics for the third time having done so in 1932 and 1984. The United States will host the Olympics for the ninth time and fifth time during the summers.

Brisbane will host the 2032 Olympics and will become the third Australian city to host the Olympics after Melbourne (1956) and Sydney (2000).

'India needs to be ready': Sports Minister Anurag Thakur on nation's 2036 Olympic bid

Narinder Batra, president of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), stated on Saturday that the organisation is in talks&nbsp;with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) about hosting the 2036 Summer Games, adding that Ahmedabad's Motera stadium is the ideal location for an opening ceremony.

The Gujarat Cricket Association christened the Motera facility 'Narendra Modi Stadium' in February 2021, after it was renovated to become the world's largest cricket stadium.

"If someone asks me about the venue for the opening ceremony at present, then it is definitely going to be the Motera stadium," Batra told reporters.&nbsp;

"There is no stadium better suited to host the opening ceremony of the Olympics (in India). I can't say what will happen by 2036.... (but) I will be proposing Ahmedabad as the venue for the opening ceremony," the IOA's President stated.

He was speaking to the media at an event hosted by TransStadia, a sports infrastructure company located in the city.&nbsp;

"When you say opening ceremony, it means that athletics will also be played (at the same venue). And athletics is the biggest event (at the Olympics)," he said.

The Olympic games may be held in three or four locations in India, according to Batra, and the IOA is in talks with the IOC regarding a prospective hosting&nbsp;for 2036. He said that India has a good probability of gaining the opportunity.

"If we talk about the 2036 Olympics, then yes, we are already talking to the International Olympic Committee. Being the president of IOA, my discussions with the IOC happen on the subject....2036 Olympics will be finalized in two-three years, and we are currently discussing with IOC," he said.

The Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA) recently requested proposals from experts to perform a "gap analysis" to determine if the city's infrastructure was suitable to host the Olympics. Following the IOA elections in December, a new president will be appointed, and a thorough presentation for India's candidacy would be made, according to Batra. He went on to say that India is one of the six or seven probable candidates for hosting the 2036 Olympics.

"India has come on the world radar, and is heading towards becoming the third-largest economy in the world. By 2036, it is going to be the second or third-largest economy," he said.

The IOC has introduced a new bidding procedure for the selection of the host city, and Brisbane was granted the 2032 games using this approach, according to Batra.

"You have to show them three-four centres, because now you can do it at multiple places, then you will show them the venues, new as well as the existing, and what are their legacy use. Motera Stadium has a legacy," he said.
