PARIS (AP) — The French Alps’ bid to host the 2030 Winter Games has been approved by the International Olympic Committee with conditions attached. French President Emmanuel Macron helped present the bid to IOC members and gave assurances that new prime minister and government he intends to install after the Summer Games will underwrite all the organizational guarantees that must still be signed. IOC members accepted his guarantees and voted their approval. The French bid was the only candidate and is a project centered on ski resorts in the French Alps and ice sports venues in the coastal city of Nice.
