Olympic bosses on Monday approved changes to the venue masterplan for the 2030 Winter Games scheduled to be held in the French Alps.
Finalised on Friday by the local organising committee, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) gave the changes the green light in a meeting in Lausanne.
“A series of updates to the venue masterplan for the Alps 2030 Olympic Winter Games has been approved,” the IOC said in a statement.
“Final approval of the venue masterplan will be given at a later date when further details are confirmed.”
Key decisions include the relocation of ice sports (except speed skating) to Lyon (from Nice), and the confirmation of Courchevel and Val d’Isere for Alpine skiing, meaning Meribel misses out.
