India’s hopes of getting the hosting rights for the 2036 edition of the Olympic Games received a much-needed shot in the arm with International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Thomas Bach saying that there are serious considerations about the possibility.

Impressed with the unprecedented 107 medals that the Indian contingent returned with from the recently concluded Asian Games in Hangzhou, Bach termed it a remarkable achievement of India’s athletes doing well in Olympic disciplines.

“There’s a great interest and there are apparently serious considerations in India to bid for the Games. We have to wait now how this will turn into a project and will be brought forward to us. Only then we can form an opinion,” Bach said on Tuesday.

“If you look at the medal haul in this Asian Games, it’s really remarkable. You can see that it’s not only shooting any more, India has medals in different disciplines that are more widespread,” he added.
