India Set To Host International Olympic Committee’s 2023 Session, Delegate and Gold-Medallist Abhinav Bindra Confirms Mumbai as Venue
The voting process was held on Saturday where India reportedly received 75 'yes' votes. This would mean that India would be hosting an IOC session after 40 years. It is quite a significant development as this could help India pitch to host future Olympics and Paralympic Games.
In what can be termed as a historic development, Mumbai is set to host the 2023 session of the International Olympic Committee. This development was confirmed by gold medal-winning shooter Abhinav Bindra, who was part of a delegate led by Mrs. Nita Ambani, Dr. Narinder Batra and sports minister Anurag Thakur.
