India will leave no stone unturned to host Olympics in 2036: Prime Miner Narendra Modi | Sport-others News

India made public its intention to host the Olympic Games in 2036 with Prime Miner Narendra Modi on Saturday saying that the country will “leave no stone unturned” to host the Olympics in 2036.
PM Modi’s comments came at the Opening Ceremony of the International Olympic Committee’s 141st Session in Mumbai. IOC president Thomas Bach was also in attendance at the event along with the who’s who of the IOC.
Modi went on to add that India will also bid to host Youth Olympic Games in 2029.
Ahead of the IOC session, Bach said they had noted India’s “great interest” in hosting the Games.
There has been talk of India making an official bid to host the Olympics for a while now. It must be noted that the official bidding process hasn’t started yet. The next edition of the Olympics will be held in Paris in 2024, followed the Los Angeles Games in 2028. The 2032 edition will be hosted the Australian city of Brisbane.
Earlier this week, Bach had told Indian journals there are “serious considerations” about the possibility.Most Read

“We have so far noted that there’s a great interest and there are apparently serious considerations here within India (to bid for the Games). We have to wait now how this will turn into a project and will be brought forward to us. Only then we can form an opinion,” Bach told a select group of journals on Tuesday.
India’s improving performance in multi-sport events is another aspect to be considered in this regard, the 69-year-old German said.
“We really appreciate how Olympic sports in recent years have been growing in India. If you look at the medal haul in this Asian Games, it’s really remarkable. You can see that it’s not only shooting any more, India has medals in different disciplines that are more widespread,” he said.
