Germany picks Munich as Olympic bid city
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. If successful, it would be the first Olympics held in Germany since the 1972 Munich Games, which were overshadowed by the terrorist attack that killed 11 Israeli athletes and coaches. The bid now heads to international competition, and reactions are likely to weigh the city's modern sporting infrastructure against the weight of 1972's history.
Why now: The selection revives debate about Germany hosting the Olympics for the first time since the deadly 1972 Munich attack.
