The bid
India has formally expressed its interest in hosting the 2036 Olympic and Paralympic Games, with Ahmedabad named as the candidate city. If it succeeds, it would be the first Olympic Games ever held in India.
More than a host city
A Games is a twelve-year project. The real questions are about grassroots sport, coaching, athlete welfare, facilities that are used long after the closing ceremony, and how the whole country takes part.
