World Athletics boss Sebastian Coe meets Sports Minister in India, discusses 2036 Olympics bid

The Hindu  

World Athletics President Sebastian Coe met Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya in New Delhi on Monday and discussed India’s intent to host the 2036 Olympics along with development of athletics in the country. Mandaviya spoke about India’s resolve to host a sustainable, inclusive, and inspiring Games, and added that our ambition to host Olympics 2036 reflects the widespread support at every level -- government, industry, and society -- for showcasing India’s cultural heritage and sporting capabilities at the world stage,” a press release from the sports ministry stated. Coe, whose grandfather was an Indian, is a popular figure in international sports and created quite a buzz before the Paris Olympics when World Athletics, under him, became the first international federation to announce hefty cash awards for Olympic medal winners. India’s athletics scene is not particularly inspiring barring the pioneering performances of two-time Olympic medallist javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra, who is also a world champion.
