These Countries Are Already Building Bids For The 2032 Olympic Games

There's a lot of Olympic news buzzing around sports communities at the moment, and the cheer world is no exception. After being granted provisional Olympic status late last year, cheerleading may soon know where it could be making its Games debut if it is given full recognition as an Olympic sport.

With the 2024 and 2028 Olympic Games likely secured for Paris and Los Angeles, countries besides France and the United States that are hoping to host an upcoming Games are looking ahead to the 2032 Olympiad. Germany, Australia, and India have all recently declared their interest and have eight years to build their cases, as the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is currently scheduled to award the host city in 2025.

Germany's bid is particularly interesting, as it would spread the Olympic events throughout 13 different cities in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, including capitol Düsseldorf, Dortmond, Cologne and Bonn, the latter being the home of the International Paralympic Committee.

No Olympic Games has been held in this many cities before, but the cost-saving measure guarantees that that only 20 percent of facilities would need to be constructed at this date, according to the preliminary plan.

The current IOC president, Thomas Bach, is German. If he were to serve two terms, the award year of 2025 would be his final year in office.

The Australian city of Brisbane is also targeting 2032 after learning that additional bids to Paris and Los Angeles would likely not be entertained for 2028.

John Coates, President of the Australian Olympic Committee and Vice President of the IOC, said that the new bidding system will save his nation money.

Instead of an expensive two-year bidding process between several cities for the right to host the Games, IOC experts will now shortlist two or three cities which will then each conduct a one-year campaign for the award.

"Realistically, Brisbane at this point is significantly inferior to Paris: Paris has got 92 per cent, and Los Angeles has got 100 per cent of the infrastructure, venues and village accommodation in place," he said to The Australian. "If we had put up Brisbane for 2028 under the old system it would have cost $60 million to bid."

India is also interested in hosting its first Olympic Games in 2032, says Indian Olympic Association President N. Ramachandran. The nation is also bidding for the 2020 Asian Beach Games, the 2021 International Olympic Committee session and the 2030 Asian Games in an effort to match its burgeoning economic status with an advanced position in world athletics.

India has won just 28 Olympic medals since 1900, and one individual gold medal per Abhinav Bindra's victory in the 10 meter air rifle at the 2008 Beijing Games. The nation also hopes to refurbish its reputation after poor facilities and corruption scandals marred its reputation in hosting the 2010 Commonwealth Games.

Other countries that had previously expressed interest in the 2028 Games include the Netherlands, Russia, Malaysia and Singapore, and though none have announced intent to adjust their bid for 2032 as of yet, the president of the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) said back in 2015 that a joint bid between Malaysia and Singapore was possible for 2032.
