Poland Aims for Summer Olympics in 2040 or 2044
Prime Minister Donald Tusk announces bid to host the Games, focusing on youth sports development.
- Tusk's announcement follows Poland's poor performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics, with only one gold medal.
- The bid aims to inspire and invest in today's youth, with plans to renovate and expand sports facilities.
- Poland has never hosted the Olympics but co-hosted the 2012 European Soccer Championship with Ukraine.
- Critics argue that the focus should be on building a stronger Olympic team before hosting the Games.
- Sports Minister Slawomir Nitras believes Poland is capable of organizing the event based on recent experiences.
