Ukraine eyes bid for Olympic Games with 2030 viewed as likeliest option Wednesday, 6 January 2021
Ukraine is considering launching a bid for the 2030 or 2032 Olympic Games, according to the country’s Youth and Sport Minister Vadym Huttsait.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky raised the possibility of an Olympic bid in September.
Zelensky reportedly instructed Huttsait to begin a technical analysis of what would be required to stage the Games.
Huttsait suggested Ukraine was leaning towards a bid for the 2030 Winter Olympics, rather than the Summer Olympics in 2032.
Huttsait, a Barcelona 1992 Olympic gold medallist in fencing and member of the National Olympic Committee of Ukraine Executive Committee, claimed the country would be in a position to host an Olympics by the end of the decade.
