Olivier Girault, director of the UNSS (National Union of School Sport) told The Team that he will not be a candidate for the presidency of the French Olympic Committee (CNOSF). His name had circulated insistently as a solution if Brigitte Henriques is forced to leave office. “I have no claim to this position, I am not a candidate for the presidency of the Olympic Committee, explains the Olympic handball champion. If there should be a change, there should be a figure that unites. I am young in these functions, I want to complete my mission at the UNSS. »
If not him, who could be a candidate? “We have four French members of the IOC who unite even beyond France, and we need to reure internationally. David Lappartient could be one of those people respected by all. He is president of a big federation, he is an important member of the IOC. He is an influential, competent person and we need someone who can reure. »
