From Candidate To Candidate 21/10/2015

Hamburg 2024 Hamburg is one of five Candidate Cities to host the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad in 2024. Which of the candidates is ultimately awarded the games gets decided by the IOC Session in September 2017. And even though there is some time still to go and Hamburg's odds are probably no better than those of Los Angeles, Paris and Rome, the German DanceSport Federation (DTV) has already established contact with the Hamburg 2024 Bid Committee to signal that DanceSport stands poised to repeat as a candidate for the Olympic Sports Programme.

The members of the WDSF Presidium congratulated the DTV and its President Heidi Estler on taking this early initiative and expressed their hopes that the sport's fortunes will change for 2024. "Chances should be better," writes Presidium member Keiji Ukai, JPN, who was heavily involved in the Tokyo 2020 campaign, "Germany can win gold medals in the DanceSport events."

First Vice President Lukas Hinder urged the National Member Bodies of France, Italy, Hungary (Budapest is a candidate too) and the USA to follow suit and approach the Bid Committees in their countries too.
