Fulfilling Long-Standing Dream: PM Modi Expresses India’s Zeal To Host Olympics

The Olympics, often regarded as the pinnacle of sporting events worldwide, has never found its home in India. However, recent developments suggest that this might soon change. Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a significant announcement during the 141st session of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) held in Mumbai.

Modi expressed aspirations of 1.4 billion Indians

In his address to the IOC, Prime Minister Modi expressed the aspirations of 1.4 billion Indians. He emphasized India’s strong enthusiasm for hosting the Olympics on its soil, marking it as a monumental goal. He declared that India is actively working towards successfully hosting the Olympics in the year 2036 and assured that no efforts would be spared in achieving this long-standing dream of the nation.

Becoming an Olympic host

Modi’s statement at the IOC session was a reflection of the country’s dedication to becoming an Olympic host. India has been making strides in the world of sports. In previous Olympics, Indian athletes showcased commendable performances, earning recognition on the global stage. More recently, India achieved historic success at the Asian Games, underlining the country’s potential to excel in the international sporting arena. Before that, young Indian athletes set new records at the World University Games, a testament to the nation’s growing talent pool.

Significance of hosting IOC session

The significance of hosting the IOC session in India was not lost on Prime Minister Modi. He pointed out that it had been 40 years since the last IOC session was held in India. This milestone served as a source of immense pride for the country, signaling its growing importance and influence in the global sporting community.

Congratulated Team India for recent victory over Pakistan

In addition to India’s future Olympic aspirations, Prime Minister Modi took a moment to congratulate Team India for their recent victory over Pakistan. He praised the team for achieving a remarkable win in the world’s largest stadium in Ahmedabad. Modi extended his heartfelt congratulations to the Indian team and all citizens for this historic triumph.

Global stage of sports

These developments indicate that India is gearing up to embrace the global stage of sports like never before, with a strong commitment to realizing its dream of hosting the Olympics in 2036. The country’s recent sporting achievements and the enthusiasm exhibited by its leadership and athletes make this goal seem ever more attainable.
