IOA must get behind govt for strong 2036 Olympics bid by India: IOC

James Macleod, IOC’s director of Olympic solidarity, NOC relations and Olympism365, said that for India to realise its Olympic ambitions, the IOA and national sports federations (NSFs) must get behind the government by putting their respective houses in order to have a “serious conversation” with the IOC as potential 2036 hosts. The Indian Olympic Association will need to prepare a detailed roadmap and come up with a strong bid to outsmart 10 other countries.
