2030 French Alps Winter Olympics chief Edgar Grospiron quits amid leadership departures

Edgar Grospiron has left the presidency of the 2030 French Alps Winter Olympics organizing committee after 18 months marked by internal turmoil and budget cuts.

• Grospiron's departure was confirmed at the committee's executive board meeting on Thursday, with no replacement named.
• Grospiron said on LinkedIn his decision followed "months of tension" and that the conditions were not met for him to continue.
• The committee lost chief executive Cyril Linette in February, who cited "insurmountable disagreements" with Grospiron, following other resignations.
• The committee shelved its Nice ice-sports hub in May after mayor Eric Ciotti refused to convert the stadium, moving ice events to Lyon.
