Germany Olympic hosts: Munich or Cologne-Rhine-Ruhr?
Germany is hoping to win the right to host the Olympic Games in 2036, 2040 or 2044. On Saturday, the German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB) is to meet to vote on which of two bids (Munich and Cologne-Rhine-Ruhr) to throw its support behind. Berlin withdrew its application at short notice on Thursday.
The motto of Munich 's Olympic bid is "For Games with heart and soul." The concept focuses on sustainability, with the 1972 Olympic Park serving as the centerpiece. According to documents published by the bid committee, around 90% of the competition venues are located less than 30 kilometers (18.6 miles) from the Olympic Village. Most of the venues that would be used already exist, with only a few temporary facilities to be constructed.
In addition to existing infrastructure, other advantages include Munich's experience in hosting major sporting events and its Olympic legacy from 1972. The organizers aim to offer an alternative model to the pricey Olympic projects of the past.
Political support for the Munich bid is strong: "In Munich, we have the perfect conditions to host the Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games," Munich Mayor Dominik Krause is quoted as saying on the city website, " muenchen.de ."
