French Alps

Olympic organizing team unveiled for 2030 Winter Games in French Alps

A bid hastily pulled together in 2023 was approved by the International Olympic Committee only last July — in Paris on the eve of a hugely successful Summer Game
The project is now led by Edgar Grospiron, a freestyle skiing gold medalist in 1992 when France last hosted the Winter Games and a late hire in recent days as president of the organizing committee
The French Alps organizing committee has a prudent operational budget of €2 billion ($2.1 billion)
