Edgar Grospiron resigns as chief of 2030 Winter Olympics organizing committee

In France, Edgar Grospiron has resigned as president of the organizing committee for the 2030 Winter Olympics. His departure, announced on September 11, 2026, adds to the challenges faced by the French Alps Olympics, which have struggled with planning delays and leadership instability. Grospiron was appointed just a year ago, and his exit follows the resignation of the committee's CEO amid internal conflicts. The IOC has expressed confidence in the project's viability despite these setbacks.
