Berlin presented his candidacy on Tuesday to return to the home of an Olympic Games at the same stadium where Jesse Owens was the star during the 1936 game under Adolf Hitler’s Nazi regime.
Berlin Sports Minister Iris Spranger has announced that the city wants to organize the sustainable Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2036, 2040 or 2044, taking advantage of existing sports facilities. However, it is likely that their plans to include the old Tempelhof Airport are running in the fight of the Berliners, which has opposed any development of the famous city park in a referendum held in 2014.
Spranger predicted a beach volleyball celebration at the Brandembourg door, and aquatic sports in Grünau, a river town that also became a scene of aquatic sports in 1936. Otherwise, Spranger provided some details during the presentation, saying that the candidate was still at the concept. “They need to be patient,” he told a journalist.
The Berlin candidate- “Berlin+” and which has the support of Brandeburg, Saxony, Machlurg-Western Pomerania states and Schleswig-Holstein-Must to be presented to the German Olympic Confederation of the German Sport (DOSB) before the end of the deadline at the end of the month.
This corresponds to DOSB to decide which games its candidacy is. Los Angeles will take a Mago -Host of the 2028 Olympic Games and Brisbane of about 2032, so the next edition available is in 2036, at the Berlin Games centenary.
In the past, DOSB said a German candidate for 2040 was also possible. “I think the 2036 game, no matter what they held, would also focus on Nazis games in 1936. That is part of the story and will pay attention to him,” said the mayor of Berlin, Kai Wegner. “I have to tell you that I am proud to be the ruling mayor of a city that has changed in the last 100 years, that we have not defended the dictatorship, exclusion and mass violence, but Berlin is now a cosmopolitan and international metropolis, a colorful and diverse city.”
Wegner, Spranger and the governors of the other four states made their presentation at the same stadium, the Olympiastadion de Berlin, in which Adolf Hitler saw Owens, the American Black Athlete, won four gold medals in the 1936 game, advising a tough blow to the Hitler’s Hitler Note.
