There are reports that the government is gearing up to host the next Olympics 2036 in Ahmedabad.
The Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA) is conducting an exercise to hire an agency for surveying the infrastructure required in Ahmedabad to host the 2036 Olympic Games.
The agency will conduct a survey in Ahmedabad over the next three months and prepare and submit a report on all the criteria required to host the mega-event. Find out the history of the Olympics and how the host city is determined, what are the sports at the Games and how the city prepares for the bid to get the hosting rights.
The Olympics is the world’s largest sporting event held every four years. The competition started worldwide in 1986. The Olympics were held for the first time in the world in Athens, Greece. Competitors from 14 countries of the world participated in this competition. Until 1992, the Summer and Winter Olympics were held together.
However, it was later decided that the two Olympics would be held separately and not together. The Summer Olympics is held between July and August while the Winter Olympics is held in March.
The sports are different for the Summer and Winter Olympics. Summer Olympics includes Archery, Athletics (Field and Track), Athletics (Marathon-Race Walks), Aquatics, Aquatics (Swimming Marathon), Badminton, Basketball, Boxing, Kanoi-Kayak, Kanoi-Kayak (Spring) Mountain Bike), Cycling (Road), Cycling (Track), Equestrian, Fencing, Football (Finals) Football (Prelims), Golf, Gymnastics, Handball, Hockey, Judo, Modern Pentathlon, Rowing, Rugby, Sailing, Taekwondo, Tennis, Triathlon, Volleyball, Volleyball (Beach), Weightlifting and Wrestling.
The city is chosen by the International Olympic Committee to host the Olympics. Every two years the big cities of the world compete for it. Most likely the city is chosen seven years ahead of the bid Olympics.
Many aspects are examined for the selection of these cities, such as complex facilities for sports, excellent accommodation for tourists, journalists, and athletes, efficient transport infrastructure, quality security international standard stadiums as well as practice venues.
In the second phase, according to the World Atlas, the city wishing to compete in the Olympics has to pay a fee of 150,000 dollars. However, under the new rules, the International Olympic Committee now looks at how many facilities are already available in the city.
