Turmoil deepens for 2030 Olympic Games as chief executive quits

"At the meeting of the board on Sunday February 22 2026 in Milan, Cojop and other interested parties took note of the departure of chief executive of Cojop, Cyril Linette," read the organisers statement. Linette had been in his post since last April, personally chosen by Grospiron, and becomes the fourth senior executive to leave in the past two months. Linette's departure seemed inevitable since a statement was issued following a meeting of all the interested parties, including the political leaders of the regions, earlier this month.
