French Alps 2030 Organizers Appoint Vincent Roberti as Interim President in Governance Reset
Stakeholders approved a rule change so Roberti can lead the committee and serve as director general until a permanent president is chosen.
- On Monday, the French Alps Olympics organizing committee appointed Vincent Roberti as interim president, replacing Edgar Grospiron, who stepped down last week following intense leadership turbulence.
- Grospiron's exit follows months of instability, including the February departure of chief executive officer Cyril Linette, after the project previously faced setbacks when French biathlon star Martin Fourcade withdrew his candidacy last year.
- The French Alps Olympics currently face the tightest timeline of any modern host, with less than four years until the opening ceremony, and organizers recently relocated ice sports from Nice to Lyon.
- An extraordinary general assembly approved a temporary rule change allowing Roberti to simultaneously serve as director general and interim president, while an IOC delegation visits Lyon this week to inspect venues.
- Despite the leadership changes, the IOC maintained its confidence in the 2030 Games last week, and organizers report the project's economic fundamentals remain solid with the first sponsor onboard and others expected soon.
