The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) submitted their official Letter of Intent to host the 2036 Summer Olympic Games this week. Most recently, New Delhi served as the host of the 2010 Commonwealth Games, which was riddled with criticism and controversies. Despite controversies of India’s Commonwealth Games, India’s 2036 plan has been backed by current IOC president Thomas Bach. The IOC reports that dozens of other locations have expressed interest in hosting the 2036 games. The host of the 2036 Games will not be decided until after next year’s IOC elections.
