Olympia: Entscheidung gefallen – München Kandidat für Olympische Spiele
Die Entscheidung ist gefallen: Die Wahlleute des Deutschen Olympischen Sportbundes haben abgestimmt, ob München oder Köln-Rhein-Ruhr Deutschlands Olympia-Kandidat wird.
The race between Munich and Cologne-Rhine-Ruhr to become Germany's Olympic candidate for the 2036, 2040 or 2044 Olympics has been decided. The outcome of a secret vote at the extraordinary member's assembly of the German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB) in Baden-Baden was Munich. The announcement was made by Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
Those eligible to vote in the ballot at the Kurhaus in Baden-Baden included the 42 Olympic sports federations, each with three votes, as well as the DOSB's personal members and presidium members. This meant that 141 votes were up for grabs. The decision was made in the first round of voting. Much had pointed to a tight contest between the two remaining candidates prior to the election.
Hamburg's project had already failed in a citizens' decision in the Hanseatic city at the end of May. Berlin withdrew its candidacy two days before the DOSB decision, after the Olympia supporters were voted out of the Red Town Hall in the Bundestag election on Sunday.
