Head of French Olympic Committee quits

French Olympic Committee chief, Brigitte Henriques, has stepped down, just over a year before the Paris Summer Games begin in late July 2024.

She announced her decision at a board meeting on Thursday, the committee announced.

French media reports said there had been a power struggle within the organisation.

Disagreements with her predecessor Denis Masseglia were a major cause of the crisis, reports said.
