It’s an open secret that is becoming less and less secret: Châteauroux should taste the Olympic Games of 2024, hosting sport shooting events. The Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (OCOG) has decided not to accept the candidacy of Seine-Saint-Denis, which was initially to receive these events at La Courneuve.
Official decision on July 12
According to the COJO, the site planned in Île-de-France is too small, and La Courneuve will not have time to bring it up to standard. Even if Paris 2024 indicates that the hypothesis of a move to Châteauroux has not yet been confirmed, the Indian site of the Center National de Tir Sportif is “priority option“. He is also and above all now the only candidate in the running. The formalization should be announced on July 12.
