PARIS — France will get just a partial Olympic win on Wednesday when its bid to host the 2030 Winter Games is presented to IOC members. International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach has confirmed that full approval for the bid cannot be given since parliamentary elections this month left France with only a caretaker national government. The bid centered around ski resorts in the French Alps and coastal city Nice needs sign-off guarantees from layers of government. Bach says Wednesday's vote will come with conditions attached. The IOC had wanted to confirm France as the 2030 host and also give Salt Lake City the 2034 Winter Games.
