Paris 2024 President Tony Estanguet was nominated Tuesday "to return to the IOC as a member." The IOC said its executive board nominated Estanguet -- who led the Paris project for more than nine years from bidding through to staging the 2024 Summer Games and Paralympics -- to be elected at its annual meeting in March. Estanguet’s return "should be a formality." A three-time Olympic champion in canoeing, he previously served an eight-year term as an IOC athlete member from 2013-21. The IOC said the 46-year-old Estanguet is being nominated "as an independent individual member," meaning he could remain until reaching the statutory age limit of 70 (AP, 1/7).
