Munich, Bavaria, and TUM present plans for Olympics 20XX

Making the case for Munich's Olympic bid

Bavarian Sports Minister Joachim Herrmann said: “Munich and Bavaria offer ideal conditions for compact Olympic and Paralympic Games with outstanding international appeal. Added to this are a strong Olympic legacy, modern sports venues with short travel distances, and a globally recognized research landscape. With the Technical University of Munich as a University of Excellence and a highly capable partner in the field of sport, we are demonstrating impressively how elite athletics, research, and innovation go hand in hand. Our goal is to host sustainable Games that create lasting momentum for sport, health, and society well beyond the competitions themselves.”

Mayor Dominik Krause emphasized: “Munich offers unique conditions for the Olympic Summer Games. Our Olympic legacy from 1972, the international appeal of our city, our experience hosting major events, and the broad support of the public make Munich an ideal venue for the Olympics. But Munich is not only a city of sport; it is also a leading center of science and research. That is why sports science at the TUM Campus in the Olympic Park is one of the highlights of our bid. It is a place where innovation and athletic practice come together. Both elite and grassroots sport benefit from this equally.”

TUM President Prof. Thomas F. Hofmann said: “TUM wholeheartedly supports Munich’s bid to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The Games provide an opportunity to put new technologies into practice, develop sustainable infrastructure, inspire people to lead active lives, and generate momentum for education, health, and social cohesion – not only during the Games themselves, but for decades to come.”
