Delhi can host Olympics now, Says Sheila Dikshit: Can that really happen??

I see no reason why we cant ! only thing is we have to ensure we reserve double the amount we estimate for spending for the olympics and pitch for it sometime in 2030 or so so that we have enough time to lay each brick in a day.

Better still we should come out with a scheme wherein we pay all the parlimentarians a fixed 3% of the cost as an olympic special allowance with the promise that once they have received the money they wouldnt try to pitch in directly or indirectly or hamper the work.

No, seriously, having learnt our lesson with CWG, i think we are ready to host the olympics. It would indeed be a crowning glory and at least be better than the Chinese like we proved with the CWG.

There is always the good feeling that we can host the Olympics. However, given the difficult issues faced during the Commonwealth Games, it is not an easy proposition to host the Olympics. The Olympics hosts a lot of sports disciplines and there are not many facilities of international standards in venues maybe apart from Delhi. This also puts more pressure on Delhi to create more infrastructure to meet the international standards.

As there are a lot of difficulties and other infrastructural issues, it may be a difficult proposition to host the Olympics quickly but in the longer run, we should definitely be able to host the Olympics provided all the issues and other factors are ironed out...

Thanks for the referral, Disha...

Definitely now India has the potential to host such international games...in-spite of many problems, negative issues keeping it aside India is at present successfully hosting CWG-2010.Now India has realized where there were lacking..

Why not, India is capable of organizing any type of mega sports events including Olympic games in our country. There is no doubt about it.

Thanks for the referral Ms.Disha Roy.

Let us not forget the fat that even 20 years back we successfully conducted Asian games and 10 years back Tamilnadu state very successfully conducted South Asian Games.We have everything.Present state of affairs is our own creation.Bad overtaking the good.Selfish people dominating things at the cost of spoiling our nation`s image.

yes she is right. successful hosting of CWG has given her confidence.

India can do anything, any event. We have capability to perform it.

With the kind of arrangements and opening the commonwealth games have got we can hope that Delhi can host olympics only if it is managed in a organised way..

Yes. She might have understood the teething problems & also, the area of concern where the problematic people dwells in. CWG might  have given her a first-hand experience to tackle problem in the Future, in Organizing event like this. Hope we will prove it also in Olympics.

Yes I agree that Indians can do anything and everything but the fact that everything should be done in a proper manner and a planned way would help increase the confidence of all in taking such responsibilities.

We should never forget that TO ERR IS HUMAN..... but not repeating it.

I convey my regards to the organising committee but i also request them to do these kind of job with great sincerity and dignity.

YES OF COURSE ... WE CAN  !!

WHY DO WE ALWAYS DOUBT OUR OWN ABILITIES, CAPABILITIES & CAPACITIES  ?  WHY ??

Just because we are a developing & not a developed country ?  I think developing is better because 'Developed' IS A FULL STOP & DEVELOPING IS A CONTINUOUS PROCESS.

I feel that such Arguments put more doubt in our minds 'On our own Country'. 

OLYMPICS IS NO BIG DEAL... When Time comes, we shall do it & show it to all Non - Believers that...

INDIA IS THE BEST... !

JAI HIND !! 

They are happening!!

Sure, Why not...We should optimistic and ready to take challenge if we have to grow Globally....But one thing dont include corrupt poiltitians in OC

Yes, now Delhi can host olymipics, India has shown the potential to all over the world, after negative publicity, and now getting positive feedback from the world. now delhi has 15 world class sport stadium but some improvement can be done so india can get the  olymipics of 2020.

Olympics will definitely happened in coming future, but we may get chance in 2024 or 2028.

& that time we will rectify the past mistakes & will take proper care to make it a big success.

If our attitude is positive, then we will make Olympics to be happened in India.

I think yes they can...The Indian Olympic Association and the Sports Ministry have been at loggerheads on bidding for the 2020 Olympics. Despite the controversy-marred build-up to the Games, International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge after the inaguration ceremony had said that India has set a "good foundation stone" for an Olympic bid in future.

Also Delhi now has 15 top class stadium in all the categories which are of international standards, besides other world class infrastructure which has been set up for the commonwealth games..So, yes after all the controversy, even the games village has came for strong appreciation from Mike fennell the CWG chief, and many players saying it is much better than the beijing olympics games village...
