Sebastian, the contender for the post of president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), believes that India’s claim for hosting the 2036 Olympic Games is ‘strong’ but many other countries will be difficult to compete with the involvement in this race.
India has already submitted a letter to the IOC’s future hosts commission for hosting the 2036 Olympics and Paralympic Games, which is the first solid step in an ambitious plan after months of informal talks with the top organization of the global game. Ko said in a special interview with ‘PTI’, “Looking at my background, you will not be surprised to say that I am very happy that India is committed to the global game and especially the Olympic movement. I was very happy to hear this. ,
He said, “But it will be very competitive. Because there will not be only one bidder in it, but India can make it a very strong claim. “Poland, Indonesia, South Africa, Qatar, Hungary, Turkians, Mexico and Egypt are among other countries that have expressed the desire to host the 2036 Olympics. The country’s hosts of 2036 sports will not be known before 2026. But it is certain that the host will be selected during the chairmanship of the winner of the 20 March election of the new IOC chief.
He is considered to be at the forefront of the seven candidates contesting as IOC President. The 68 -year -old is twice the Olympic 1500 meter gold medalist. He advised India that if he does not get the right to host 2036 Olympics, he should not end his ambition to organize an Olympics.
Ko said, “Many cities bid and but their dialect was not accepted. Interestingly, when London obtained a bid in 2005 (for the 2012 phase), he defeated Paris. We all had just gone to the Paris Olympic Games (2024). “He is currently leading world athletics, he said,” Rio was one of the cities that could not move beyond the initial evaluation for the 2012 dialect. ” And soon after Britain, he spoke in 2016. “He said,” Therefore it is not the end of the story in any way. And the legacy gained from bid is also a very strong heritage.
