The
Cabinet
Minister
was
quoted
by
the
news
daily
as
saying
that
it
is
the
right
time
for
India
to
host
the
mega
sporting
event.
As
Paris,
Los
Angeles
and
Brisbane
will
host
the
next
three
Olympic
Games
in
2024,
2028
and
2032
respectively,
India
is
planning
to
bid
to
host
the
2036
Olympics.
“If
India
is
making
news
in
every
sector,
from
manufacturing
to
services,
then
why
not
in
the
field
of
sports?
“India
is
looking
very
seriously
at
bidding
for
the
2036
Olympics,”
Thakur
added.
Countries
in
race
for
2036
Olympics
The
nation
has
successfully
hosted
Asian
Games
and
the
Commonwealth
Games
in
the
past
and
it
is
now
planning
to
take
another
giant
leap
as
the
sporting
infrastructure
in
the
country
is
improving
with
every
passing
year.
As
per
reports,
India
will
face
stiff
competition
from
Indonesia,
South
Korea,
and
Qatar.
Qatar
has
successfully
hosted
the
FIFA
World
Cup
2022.
Germany
is
considering
whether
to
launch
another
Olympic
bid
despite
strong
domestic
opposition.
Thakur
–
who
also
holds
the
I&B
Minister’s
portfolio
–
claimed
that
the
Narendra
Modi
government
will
consult
with
the
Indian
Olympic
Association
(IOA)
and
prepare
a
roadmap
ahead
of
the
IOC
session
in
Mumbai
next
year.
“The
IOC
session
is
a
prestigious
event
for
India
and
whatever
steps
have
to
be
taken
to
bid
along
with
the
IOA,
the
government
will
support
them.
It
has
to
be
a
joint
preparation,”
Thakur
added
further.
Which
Indian
City
will
host
2036
Olympics?
As
per
the
Sports
Minister,
Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi’s
home
state
of
Gujarat
would
be
presented
as
a
potential
Olympic
venue.
The
state
of
Gujarat
hosted
the
national
games
2022
across
several
venues.
“Gujarat
has
several
times
expressed
interest
in
hosting
the
Olympics.
They
have
the
infrastructure
…
It’s
also
part
of
the
state
government’s
manifesto
to
host
the
Olympics
in
Gujarat,”
Thakur
added
further.
Meanwhile,
reports
claim
that
the
International
Olympic
Committee
(IOC)
was
in
preliminary
discussions
with
10
cities.
However,
the
global
body
has
not
revealed
a
timeframe
for
when
it
plans
to
award
the
2036
edition.
