LAUSANNE, Switzerland \u2014 The IOC set a target of 2029 on Wednesday to pick a 2036 Olympics host in a currently stalled contest<\/a> that has long been targeted by India and Qatar<\/a> .<\/p>

The timetable agreed at a meeting of the full International Olympic Committee membership is a reset under president, Kirsty Coventry, after 2028 Summer Games host Los Angeles and 2032 host Brisbane were chosen 11 years in advance.<\/p>\n

It brings back a competitive vote wanted by members after L.A. and Brisbane were effectively chosen without facing a rival candidate. The 2024 Olympics host Paris was picked with the traditional seven years to prepare in 2017, when L.A. stood aside as a rival to be given the 2028 edition uncontested.<\/p>\n

The strategic shift has been a defining move in Coventry\u2019s presidency that formally started exactly one year ago when she succeeded Thomas Bach.<\/p>\n

At least 10 potential Summer Games bids for 2036 and beyond had been in ongoing talks with the IOC when Coventry pressed pause on the process in the first big decision of her presidency.<\/p>

Detailing the new timetable, IOC member Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovi\u0107 said the contest should take shape in March next year.<\/p>\n

The IOC\u2019s executive board will pick an official short list for \u201cdeeper evaluation of a number of interested parties with developed projects,\u201d said Grabar-Kitarovi\u0107, the former state president of Croatia.<\/p>\n

A target of late-2028 was set to begin a \u201ctargeted dialogue\u201d phase with bidders, when their governments will be required to give legal and financial guarantees.<\/p>\n

The 2036 host election is set to be at the IOC Session expected in mid-2029 at a venue yet to be decided.<\/p>
