India's 2036 Olympic Bid in 'Continuous Dialogue' with IOC
India is trying to host the Olympics in 2036!
They've told the Olympic committee (IOC) they want to, and the IOC is checking out their plan.
This process is called 'continuous dialogue,' but it's on hold temporarily because the IOC is changing how they pick who gets to host.
India hopes to win, but other countries, like Qatar, want to host too.
It might take longer than expected to find out if India will host.
The bid is also facing scrutiny due to a high number of doping violations among Indian athletes.
India's bid to host the 2036 Olympics is under assessment by the IOC.
The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) submitted a letter of intent to the IOC.
The process is in a 'continuous dialogue' phase.
The IOC is reassessing the host election system, potentially delaying the decision.
India faces competition from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Indonesia.
