India's Olympic projects are confirmed. Narinder Dhruv Batra, the president of the Indian Olympic committee, told the site Aroundtherings, on the occasion of the Asian Games in Indonesia, that the country was preparing a bid for the Asian Games in 2030 and the Summer Games in 2032. In both cases, the candidate cities have not yet been designated. There could be 2 or 3 for the Asian Games, but only one for the Olympic event. But Narinder Dhruv Batra made it clear: Indian athletes will have to quickly raise their level of performance to hope to participate in these two events. The Indian Olympic Committee has set a target of 20 to 25 medals at the Tokyo 2020 Games, then 35 to 40 podiums at the Paris 2024 Games. Rather ambitious for a country having won only 28 medals since its first participation in the Games in 1900. " But we are going to invest billions and billions of dollars.”, warned the president of the Indian Olympic committee.
