LYON, France — French organizers of the 2030 Winter Games were united Tuesday to unveil the team given the tightest schedule of any modern Olympics. It's just five years before the opening ceremony on Feb. 1, 2030. The French Alps Olympics must tie together snow and sliding venues in the mountains with skating and curling arenas on the Riviera coastal city Nice. Organizing committee president Edgar Grospiron was hired in the past week. At a launch event with national and regional politicians Tuesday in Lyon Grospiron says "What's important now is that from now we organize it, we deliver it."
