French Alps 2030: The next Winter Olympics for speed skating will be held in Italy or the Netherlands

About 15% of the sports and venues allocated for 2030 have not yet been determined, but those details will be confirmed by June this year, Grosperon said.

Figure skating – which currently has no confirmed location – will take place in Nice, as will curling and ice hockey, he said.

Grosberon also said they will decide what new sports, if any, will be added to the program and whether any events will be removed.

The future of the Nordic Combined Championship, which is the only event at Milan-Cortina 2026 that does not include a women’s competition, has yet to be confirmed.

Ski mountaineering, which debuts in 2026, has not yet been confirmed as a medal event in the French Alps.

“New sports are at the heart of our concerns,” Grosperon said. “We will have to address this to then decide what our venue plan will be and it must be validated by June by the International Olympic Committee.”

“We will not do it alone, we will do it together with the federations and venues.

“For the Nordic countries combined, this is at the helm of the IOC. We will follow the IOC’s recommendations. We are there to listen, to help us finalize our venue plan.”

There were reports of infighting, external Among the 2030 organizing committee, with general manager Cyril Linnet allegedly set to leave amid disagreements with Grosperon, as well as budget cuts.

Grosberon said they had “little time and little money” but were confident the Games would be held successfully.

“We talk every day about our desire to make these games a success,” he said. “The organizing committee needs calm and continuity, then we will show what our teams can do. We are very proud of the work we have been able to do.

“We know we have little time and little money. But we can deliver a course that respects our vision and ambition.”
