Curtain call for Tony Estanguet. The president of the Paris 2024 Games organizing committee is due to announce his departure from the COJO this Thursday, December 12, at the last board meeting. The three-time Olympic canoe champion believes that, with the Games' accounts having been closed and their result in surplus, his mission is now over. "I no longer have any reason to stay in my job, to occupy an office and to receive a salary", he explained to the media ahead of the board meeting. Based for several weeks in a building in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, the COJO should be dissolved in the second quarter of 2, at the latest on June 2025. Asked about his future, Tony Estanguet evaded the question, simply answering once again that he needed a break above all, to recharge his batteries and think about his reconversion.
