"Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country is continuously progressing towards better sports infrastructure and facilities for athletes. Delhi and the entire country are fully prepared to host the 2036 Olympic Games," she said.
In January 2025, Prime Minister Modi said his government is putting all its might behind the ambitious bid to bag the hosting rights of 2036 Olympics.
The prime minister had expressed India's intention to host the 2036 Olympic Games during the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) Session in Mumbai in 2023. The Indian Olympic Association has submitted the official letter of intent to the IOC.
Countries like Qatar, and Saudi Arabia are also in the running for the 2036 hosting rights.

Cricket: England cancel out India's first innings lead as visitors endure below par day in the field
LEEDS: K L Rahul drove his way to a sublime 47 after England negated India's advantage by totalling 465 in their first innings as the visitors had another ordinary day in the field on day three of the first Test here on Sunday. India dropped as many as five catches and barring Jasprit Bumrah , the effort from the pacers left a lot to be desired, allowing England to even out the game after the Shubman Gill-led side posted 471 in its first essay. At stumps, India reached 90 for two with Rahul (47 batting off 75) and Shubman Gill (6 batting off 10).

Rahul was a delight to watch as majority of his seven fours came via the cover and square drive off the fast bowlers. He did not look any discomfort whatsoever despite the ball doing a bit in overcast conditions. Stumps were drawn when rain arrived at Headingley with India leading by 96 runs. Live Events In an extended afternoon session, Harry Brook ran out of luck on 99 before Jasprit Bumrah completed a well deserved five-wicket haul to ensure a slender six-run first innings lead for India. Before Bumrah castled Josh Tongue to end England innings, Chris Woakes (38 off 55) punished a predictable Indian pace attack to take his team close to India's 471. Hosts continued to find the boundaries at will as they collected 138 runs in 23.4 overs in the afternoon session with the loss of five wickets. Prasidh Krishna removed Jamie Smith (40 off 52) and Brook (99 off 112) with the short ball but leaked too many runs at the same time with his one dimensional tactic, conceding 128 runs in 20 overs. Bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur was under bowled again, raising questions over his selection. Bumrah, who has by far been the best Indian bowler on display, picked up his 14th fifer in the longest format ending with figures of 5/83 in 24.4 overs. India's fielding have been their weakest link so far in the game and having been give two lives, Brook was dropped again, on 82, by Jaiswal off Bumrah. The explosive England batter however could not use those chances to score a famous hundred and was dismissed on 99 in the 88th over. India had taken the new ball after 80 overs but were not able to make good use of it. Captain Shubman Gill made questionable calls like introducing Ravindra Jadeja towards the end of the session and bringing back Bumrah for a late burst. In the opening session, Brook went on the offensive against an inconsistent Indian pace attack, taking England to 327 for five at lunch. Resuming at an overnight 209 for three, Brook ensured that England scored at a brisk pace, totalling 118 runs in 28 overs. The visitors got two welcome wickets of overnight centurion Ollie Pope (106 off 137) and England captain Ben Stokes (20 off 52). Like day two, the other Indian pacers could not match the accuracy of Bumrah. Brook, dismissed off a Bumrah no ball at the stroke of stumps on day two, was dropped by wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant on 46 shortly before lunch. Jadeja, who was able to extract sharp turn from the rough, got one to turn away sharply but Pant could not hold on to the rising ball. In the same over, Brook completed his 12th Test fifty, adding to the frustration of the Indians who have been sloppy with their catching thus far in the game. Led by captain Shubman Gill, the Indians were also very vocal about their issues with a worn out Dukes ball throughout the session. The umpires relented before the 75th over while the new ball will be due after 80 overs. The session belonged to the highly rated Brook who produced a display of audacious strokeplay from the get go. Krishna offered two loose balls in the first over of the day and Brook duly put them for a four through point and six off over mid-wicket. Brook's tactics against the pacers, including Bumrah, stood out as he charged down to them for aerial drives over extra cover. Krishna, in his following over, was lucky to get Pope out as the England number three edged a short and wide ball to the keeper.

Rohini Rules Again For Maharashtra, Gayatri Gets Maiden National Wrestling Gold
1 2 3 Nagpur: Maharashtra's most experienced grappler and reigning Asian Games gold medallist, Rohini Khanu Devba of Kolhapur, won all the bouts she played without conceding a point to underline her supremacy in the Chief Minister's Cup U-15 National wrestling championship, which concluded at the indoor stadium of Divisional Sports Complex in Mankapur on Sunday. Maharashtra grapplers managed to clinch just two gold medals on the concluding day, with Haryana wrestlers stealing the thunder of the home state by winning the overall championship in all three categories. Maharashtra finished second by marginally falling short to Haryana in both the boys' and girls' freestyle events and in the Greco-Roman boys' group. While Maharashtra started their campaign on a high on Saturday, the home state grapplers fared poorly on the concluding day. The face-saving gold medals that Maharashtra won came in the girls' freestyle category, where Rohini lived up to her top billing, and Gayatri Shinde from Shirsodi village of Indapur Taluka in Pune, registered a thumping triumph. As many as five Maharashtra grapplers managed to reach the finals on Sunday but missed the India bus by losing their bouts. The champion wrestler in all the groups qualified to represent the country in the forthcoming Asian Championship. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esse novo alarme com câmera é quase gratuito em Passos (consulte o preço) Alarmes Undo In the girls' freestyle section, Rohini, 33kg weight category National and Asian Games champion, participated in the higher 36kg group. Much like her dominance during the Asian Championship held last year in Thailand, Rohini won all the bouts she played in the 36kg group without losing a single point. In the final, Rohini blanked Karnataka's Sushmita Kammar 10-0 to register a thumping triumph. Later in the evening, another small-town girl from Maharashtra, Gayatri Shinde, rallied from a point down to outclass Shrasti Kumar from Delhi 12-6 and win the 42kg gold medal. While Rohini and Gayatri sealed their Indian berth for the Asian Championship, Maharashtra's Ketaki Jadhav and Sharvari Rathod suffered heartbreaking losses in the finals. Ketaki lost the 62kg freestyle final to Uttar Pradesh's Ankita Kushavha, while Sharvari Rathod went down fighting to Punjab's Puravi Sharma in the controversial 66kg girls' summit clash 3-5. Of the 10 weight category U-15 boys' Greco-Roman event, three Maharashtra grapplers managed to reach the finals but suffered losses to win silver medals. In the 62kg final, Darpan Chaudhari failed to find the grip against Karnataka's Taimmeshi, losing the clash 4-13. Similarly, in the 85kg title round, Rahul Satkar went down fighting to UP's Suraj Sharma 9-14 in a high-scoring bout. Earlier, in an exciting 41kg final, Sachin Shirole of Maharashtra suffered a heartbreaking 6-8 defeat against Haryana's Monu Kumar. The four bronze medals that Maharashtra grapplers Sarthak Phuge, Dhiraj Daphale, Vinayak Tambekar, and Harshvardhan Patil won came in the 38kg, 48kg, 52kg, and 57kg weight categories respectively. Haryana wrestlers winning in all the categories clinched the general championship. Despite failing to win a gold medal, Maharashtra Greco-Roman wrestlers finished second, collecting 147 points. Haryana finished on top of the table with 157 points, while Rajasthan came third with 116 points. In the girls' freestyle group, Haryana edged out Maharashtra by nine points (171-161). Delhi, with 139 points, finished third. Similarly, in the boys' freestyle event, Haryana (155) outclassed Maharashtra (137) by 18 points. Later, in the concluding ceremony, president of Maharashtra Wrestling Association and former MP Ramdas Tadas, president of the organising committee and MLC Sandip Joshi, Hindkesari Yogesh Dhoke, NMC sports officer Piyush Ambulkar, and other WFI officials distributed the prizes.
