The president of the French Olympic Committee (CNOSF) Brigitte Henriques, elected in June 2021, resigned Thursday from her post, a coup de théâtre in full general assembly fourteen months before the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, in order to put an end to an internal crisis that has lasted for more than a year and a half, announced the CNOSF.

Internal conflicts and rivalries got the better of the former vice-president of the French Football Federation (FFF), in open war for months with her predecessor Denis Masseglia. The secretary general of the body Astrid Guyart will ensure the interim until the election of a new president "in the next three months", says the statement of the CNOSF.
