Germany is choosing its next Olympic host candidate, with the selection made Saturday between Munich and the Cologne-Rhine-Ruhr region. The German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB) assembly is set to elect the winner at the end of an ongoing nomination process.
The field is smaller than earlier, after Berlin withdraws from the race on Thursday. With Berlin out, only two bids remain: Munich’s bid and a bid led by the Rhine-Ruhr region, including Cologne. Several outlets describe the process as gaining momentum late after Berlin’s decision, while others frame Munich as the slight favorite in the final outcome.
