The **International Olympic Committee** (IOC) Coordination Commission (CoCom) recently visited Lyon, France, following the departure of Edgar Grospiron, the former president of the Alpine 2030 Organizing Committee (COJOP). During a press conference, Pierre-Olivier Beckers, president of the CoCom, and Vincent Roberti, the interim president of COJOP, shared updates on the progress of the Alpine 2030 project, expressing confidence and optimism about its development. At the Sofitel Lyon Bellecour Hotel, the legacy of Grospiron was acknowledged, with Beckers thanking him for his contributions and describing him as "the key person in this first phase of the COJOP's life." The focus was on strategic planning, with updates on the Games' vision, emblems, sports program, and a procurement strategy aimed at involving the local community. Since the last CoCom meeting in December, significant progress has been made in shaping the event's identity and structure. In Lyon, the emphasis was on ice sports, with the site plan now described as "complete, final and optimized." Ice hockey will be held at the Arena de Décines-Charpieu and the Halle Tony Garnier, while curling, short track, figure skating, and the main media center will be hosted at EurExpo and its exhibition halls. Roberti praised the "magnificent sites" of the metropolis and the ease of travel, highlighting that the final plan ensures exciting experiences for athletes and meaningful engagement for the public. Site visits included locations such as the LDLC Arena, Eurexpo, and the Halle Tony Garnier, where discussions focused on delivery, resources, engagement, sustainability, and the legacy of the Games. This visit was a key step in preparing the next phase of the project collectively. Lyon, known as the "entrance to the Alps," is positioned to attract a wider audience due to its connectivity and transport network. The transfer of ice sports to different venues was described as a "proof of agility" crucial for a large-scale event. Courchevel will host men's and women's alpine skiing speed events, while Val d'Isère will organize the technical events. Beckers expressed confidence in the upcoming phase of preparations, which includes welcoming new partners, defining the ceremonies concept, and planning celebration sites. He noted that the revenue department has made significant progress, with about 30% of the revenue target secured. This progress has put the Alpine 2030 project "completely on track three and a half years before the Games." Beckers also praised the work of Cyrille Groll, the COJOP's revenue director, and stated that Roberti is well-positioned to attract commercial partners. The Alpine 2030 project continues to mature, with governance structures firmly established and the COJOP strengthening its capabilities weekly. The foundations of Alpine 2030 are described as solid and well anchored. The CoCom left Lyon reassured by the progress made, confident, and enthusiastic. Upcoming key events include the Alpine 2030 Meetings, set to begin in late September, allowing citizens and economic actors in the mountains to participate in shaping the Games. The next CoCom meeting is expected in the spring of 2027, likely in May in the Briançonnais area.
