French Athletes Rally to Preserve Two-Man Ski Event

A group of 40 french athletes, including multiple Olympic medalists, have issued a formal statement to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) advocating for the continued inclusion of the two-man ski event in the Olympic program. The joint declaration reflects a significant effort by the athletes to influence the IOC’s decision-making process. The statement, released earlier today, specifically addresses concerns surrounding the potential removal of the two-man event following recent revisions to the alpine skiing competition structure.

It highlights the event’s historical importance and the value it brings to the Winter Games. Quentin Fillon Maillet, a prominent ski racer and participant in the statement, represents a portion of the group. The collective voices of these athletes, representing a diverse range of disciplines within French winter sports, underscore the sport’s broader support.
