No doubt there'll be a sigh of relief in Lausanne, where there were probably fears of a Le Pen victory overshadowing the Paris Olympics. The IOC will probably be pretty happy they can have a Games not overshadowed by politics and external events, unlike 2014, 2016, 2018 and 2020.

Just the usual strikes & rioting then.

Paris 2024 confirms shooting venue switch as boxing preliminaries also move

so, handball gets screwed and has to play the preliminary in a small hall with no air conditioning in the middle of Summer...

 

If I were the IHF, I'd never accept this, If I were the French NT's handball players, a strike would start immediately...
