The German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB) is set to hold a vote to decide on if it should apply to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

A decision is due to be made at the body's General Assembly in Baden-Baden on December 3 on whether it should begin the two-year procedure to decide on a potential bid. 

Making the unique power of sport and in particular the Olympic Movement tangible again in Germany and acting sustainably from an ecological, social and economic point of view as well as creating concrete added value for society is a central task for the future of the DOSB.

The organisation said in a statement.

At our General Assembly in Baden-Baden on 3 December 2022, we will ask for a vote to embark on a two-year process on why, how and with whom we want to apply to the IOC for the Olympic and Paralympic Games. We want to make an attractive offer to world sport!

DOSB President Thomas Weikert has previously identified the 2034 Winter Games and 2036 Summer edition as the earliest potential targets for his desired bid.

Munich hosted the 2022 European Championships earlier this year and the DOSB has the taste for the Olympic and Paralympic Games 

Since Munich's successful bid for the 1972 Olympics, Germany has failed in five different bids for Summer and Winter Games in 1992, 2000, 2012, 2018 and 2024.

A Rhine-Ruhr proposal for 2032 was also unsuccessful, with Brisbane awarded that edition of the Olympics last year.

Germany successfully staged the multi-sport European Championships and co-hosted EuroBasket this year, with all of the tournament's knockout matches being played in Berlin.

Despite this, Weikert still thinks Germany is not ready to join the bidding race for the unclaimed 2030 Winter Olympics, saying it is "too late".

The 2036 Summer Olympics would mark 100 years since the 1936 "Nazi Olympics" which took place in Berlin and were opened by Adolf Hitler.

A German bid for the centennial event would be focused on promoting a multi-cultural event in an attempt to showcase the positive change that the country has undergone, it is claimed.

Sport and politics: my experiences as an athlete

Все это лишь еще раз доказывает, что спорт должен оставаться вне политики. К сожалению, чаще всего это просто слова.
