Philippe Candeloro, surrounded by Christel Pascal, Jef Tordo, Marielle Goitschel who has also joined the Nice 2018 team, and the City Councilor for Sports Marouane Bouloudhnine representing Christian Estrosi, Deputy Mayor of Nice, highlighted the originality of the Azurean project:
“Nice is a candidacy with stature. It is the contrast and diversity of this project that appeal to me. The Winter Olympics in Nice, by the sea, is something innovative in terms of organization and offers added value for everyone who comes here.
This demonstrates that the Olympics are not just about sporting achievements, and that something more is needed. This extra, Nice and the French Riviera possess.”
