  "account": "BERLIN, Oct 6 : Seven countries, including India, Germany and Qatar, are in the race to host the 2036 Summer Olympics, announced the International Olympic Committee on Tuesday. Hungary, Turkey, South Africa and South Korea are the other interested parties, engaged in preliminary discussions with the IOC. A shortlist is expected to be finalized in March next year, with some countries advancing to a strategic dialogue phase. The selection of the preferred host will be made in 2028, and a final decision is anticipated in mid-2029, according to the IOC's statement. Countries still keen on bidding have until October 31 to express their interest, but new candidates are unlikely to emerge as the deadline approaches. Los Angeles is set to host the 2028 Summer Games, while Brisbane, Australia, will host them four years later.",
