Germany picks Munich as its bid city for future Olympics
Original: Germany selects Munich for Olympics bid; would be first in country since disastrous 1972 Games
Germany has chosen Munich as its candidate city to host the Olympic Games, which would mark the first time the country has hosted them since the 1972 Munich Games, which were overshadowed by the Palestinian terrorist attack that killed 11 Israeli athletes and coaches. Officials hope a successful bid would allow Germany to finally return to hosting the event more than five decades later, though the 1972 legacy looms over the plans.
Why now: The selection of Munich revives memories of the 1972 massacre while raising the prospect of Germany hosting the Olympics for the first time in over 50 years.
