After the meeting of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Tuesday, it was announced that only Munich and Pyeongchang were selected, Annecy was rejected. The main reason for this decision, the distance between the competition places. The IOC has proposed instead that France review its proposal, changing the Nordic skiing and speed skating to Annecy and the Aravis area, and everything else (skiing, snowboarding, freestyle, moguls, hockey ...) in Chamonix and surroundings. An idea supported by most elected officials. But Eric Fournier, the mayor of Chamonix, just announced that it refuses to comment as he needs guarantees of funding partners, he also needs to be assured that the impact on the environment and the economy of the territory of Mount Blanc will not be destabilized. He should be able to give an answer by mid-July. Le Dauphiné
