The Paris Olympics concluded on August 11 with a grand send-off, as athletes from around the world gathered to celebrate the spirit of sportsmanship. However, the focus has already shifted to the next Olympics, with preparations beginning immediately. The Olympics is an intensely competitive event, requiring meticulous planning well in advance. In this edition, India finished 71st in the medal tally, securing six medals—five bronze and one silver.
While India’s progress may be slow, it is steady, as the nation continues its journey toward becoming a global sporting powerhouse. As part of this ambition, India is also eyeing the hosting rights for the 2036 Olympics. Whether they will secure it remains to be seen, but the possibilities are worth exploring.
2036 Olympics will held in which country?
The next Olympics will be hosted by Los Angeles in 2028, with cricket making its debut as an Olympic sport. Hosting rights have been confirmed through the 2032 Olympics, which will take place in Brisbane, Australia. With three consecutive editions being held outside of Asia, the continent may not be a likely candidate for the 2036 Olympics.

India to pitch their bid for Olympics 2036
India had a notable presence at the Paris Olympics, both on and off the field. Among the key figures was billionaire Nita Ambani, who represented India at various public events while actively promoting the country’s bid for the 2036 Olympics. During the Games, Nita Ambani also inaugurated the India House, a cultural showcase designed to impress the international media and celebrate India’s rich heritage.
India’s bid for the 2036 Olympics is expected to receive significant backing from the Ambani family. Nita Ambani, a prominent member of the family and an International Olympic Committee (IOC) member since 2016, has been a vocal advocate for India’s Olympic ambitions.
