It is not a medal, but an honor nonetheless. Come 2023, India will host the annual session of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in Mumbai. India got 99% of the votes in the conclave held in Beijing this year. With this victory, she returned to India after 40 years. The last time we hosted was after the 1982 Asian Games in New Delhi. The big decision to be taken in Mumbai will be the host country of the 2030 Winter Olympics.
However, what Indian sports fans want to know is when India will be in a position to make a winning bid for a chance to stage the Summer Olympic Games. Since at least the 1984 Los Angeles Games, the top commercial proposal seemed to carry the vote, and bidders have invited the attention of global tourists and investors to their home country and the event as part of an economic-boost plan. requested to use. This also means that the competition to play host has intensified. India will have the added benefit of being a major economy that hasn’t run yet, which may swing some votes depending on the fact. Hopefully, we will have a well-crafted proposal at some point that IOC members will find attractive.
