At the end of the meeting COE President Alejandro Blanco continues to show confidence in the future of the Olympic candidacy of the Pyrenees. In statements to MD, the COE president acknowledged that “we need to continue the conversation and see what everyone comes up with” and assured that “yes, these types of meetings are always useful because when the situation is as complicated as in this case, always Doors open after the conversations ”.

After this new contact, “what we agreed on was to continue the conversation and I am confident that a definite agreement will be reached and the proof of this confidence is that we will continue to have talks”. Of course, the next meeting between the parties involved in the winter Olympic bid needs to take place quickly, as there will be a visit from International Olympic Committee (IOC) scheduled for next June 1-originally it was scheduled for May, but due to the candidacy situation it was delayed.

I remain optimistic and confident that a definite agreement will be reached. If we want to have a candidacy, we have to come to an agreement and that’s what we talk about, and when there are talks and meetings there are always possibilities ”.
