Kolkata: The ball has been set rolling as India have been handed the privilege of hosting the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) session after 40 years.
While Mumbai's position to host the 2023 session will need to be ratified at the 136th IOC session in Tokyo, what cannot be ignored is the role that has been played by IOC member Nita Ambani in helping the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) fulfill the dream of a billion.
India offering to host the 2023 IOC session and Nita Ambani expressing her dream to see India host major sporting events like the Olympics in the future, saw the rise of a new dawn in the country.
With Tokyo Olympics just round the corner and a strong Indian contingent once again looking to vie for podium spots, it is in the horizon that someday India would also host Olympics on home soil. The premise was set when the formal bid submission to host 2023 IOC session was completed by Indian Olympic Association (IOA) President Narinder Batra and IOC member Ambani to IOC chief Thomas Bach last year in June.
