Berlin's state Parliament has given the go-ahead for the city's bid to rehost the Olympic Games on or after the 100th anniversary of the 1936 Games staged by the Nazis.
"Our bid is a genuine promise for future generations," Berlin Mayor Kai Wegner said during the 90-minute debate that preceded the vote Thursday.
