- On Wednesday, organisers confirmed the departure of chief executive officer Cyril Linette, which was formally acknowledged at an executive board meeting last weekend amid tensions with Edgar Grospiron.

- Like this month's Milan Cortina Olympics, the Games split snow sports in the mountains and skating in Nice, with speed skating likely at Thialf in Heerenveen or Turin's Oval Lingotto, organizers said.
