Fourcade does not want to be OC boss of the 2030 Games
France's biathlon icon Martin Fourcade will not be in charge of planning the 2030 Winter Olympics in his country!
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The 36-year-old has withdrawn his application to chair the organizing committee following differences of opinion, as French media unanimously reported on Monday.
"... Sacrificing my convictions!"
The media quoted a letter from Fourcade saying that opinions were too far apart when it came to leadership style, vision and territorial anchoring. "I cannot decide to sacrifice my convictions."
The five-time Olympic champion ended his career in 2020 - he became world champion 13 times and won the overall World Cup seven times. He was later elected to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as an athlete representative.
The chairmanship of the organizing team for the 2030 Winter Games could now go to Vincent Jay, also an Olympic biathlon champion, or to ski freestyler Marie Martinod.
