Costa Navarino: The president of the International Olympic International Committee (CIO), Kirsty Coventry, was expected that India has kept the candidacy of India to organize the 2036 Games, saying that it would reveal its “ideas” on the selection of the future host in the coming days.
Coventry, 41, was elected president of the IOC on Thursday to become the first woman and the first African to obtain the greatest work in world sports.
When they were asked if there was a chance that India’s candidacy be converted into “accelerated targeted dialogue” before the outgoing president Thomas Bach leaves his duties on June 23, Coventry said: “In the end, there is a process in place and this process is underway and which will remain, to my knowledge, for the next few months.”
“I think we have to involve members in the selection of the future host and I have few ideas and I may be willing to share them, could be next week,” she said at the press conference after her election.
She will take care of the president of the Bach IOC on June 23, the Olympic day, after three months of transition period.
The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has submitted “the expression of interest” to the future Host Commission of the IOC to host the 2036 games, making the first concrete step in an ambitious plan after months of informal dialogue with the Apex organization.
More than 10 countries, including Qatar and Saudi Arabia, have expressed their interest in hosting the 2036 Olympic Games, although we do not yet know how much or what other nations have officially done.
With the submission of the “letter of intention”, India has gone from “informal dialogue” to the “continuous dialogue” stadium of the host’s electoral process. At this stage, the IOC is “feasibility” of the progress of projects associated with the games of the potential host.
The next phase of the process would be “targeted dialogue”, which would require the submission of an official offer specific to publishing, which would be assessed by the future host commission. The process would finally end with a host election.
It is unlikely that a decision on the 2036 host is before 2026.
