Report: German President Steinmeier no longer against 2036 Games bid

German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier can now imagine the Olympic Games being held in Germany in 2036 after all, broadcaster ARD reported on Sunday. A spokesman for the president said in February that Steinmeier considered 2036 to be “historically problematic” for a German Olympic bid given it would come 100 years after the Berlin Games organized by the Nazis.
