The British government wants to get the country “event ready” to potentially host another Olympics. Discussions are happening “about supporting potential bids” for the Olympics and Paralympics in the 2040s, as well as bids for the Ryder Cup and Solheim Cup in the 2030s, according to an announcement Wednesday by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport. London has hosted the Summer Olympics three times, most recently in 2012.
