Olympic Games 2030: Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux officially appointed president of the Organizing Committee

Since the resignation of Edgar Grospiron on September 10, stakeholders in the 2030 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games have been chasing a twist. To embody the project, bring back a little serenity after months of tension.

The executive office made up of representatives of the State, the organizing regions, the Olympic and Paralympic committees meeting this Thursday in Lyon entrusted the presidency of the organizing committee for the 2030 Olympic and Paralympic Games to Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux, the former president of Medef.

At 64, this great sports fan has not discovered the Olympic world. He had been part of the organizational chart of the organizing committee since April, as chairman of the remuneration committee, after having been a member of the board of directors of the organizing committee for the Paris 2024 Games as a representative of the economic world.

Initially, Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux will travel the field, to meet local stakeholders, embody the project and unite. Three and a half years from the event.
