2030 Winter Olympics venues confirmed in France and Netherlands

The International Olympic Committee confirmed the venues for the 2030 Winter Games, with events scheduled in Lyon and the French Alps. Speed skating will take place in Heerenveen, Netherlands, to reduce costs. Lyon will host curling, figure skating, and short track speed skating, among other events. Organizers have finalized these locations after earlier plans faced challenges, including moving the ice sports hub from Nice. The Games will debut freeride skiing and snowboarding, along with synchronized figure skating, but will not feature the nordic combined event.
