DOHA, (Reuters): Qatar will bid to host the 2024 summer Olympics, despite having failed to make the cut for the 2016 and 2020 Games, the Qatar Olympic Committee’s general secretary said on Sunday.

“We have tried it twice, and we will continue. It’s not something we will give up - it’s part of our vision to make Qatar a centre for sport,” Saoud bin Abdulrahman al-Thani told reporters in the Qatari capital.

Qatar had proposed holding the 2020 Olympics in October to avoid the Gulf Arab state’s searing summer heat.
