Paris Olympics organiser sees ‘difficult’ year ahead

The Hindu  

The chief organiser of the Paris Olympics Tony Estanguet admitted on Tuesday that the 12 months until the opening ceremony would be “difficult”. “But we have to stay calm,” he said at a press conference in Paris as the one-year--to-go date of July 26 approaches fast. International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach said on Tuesday he was sure the Paris Olympics would take place “in a peaceful environment”, even though much of the trouble flared in parts of the French capital where Games events will take place next year. In Paris, Estanguet said the issue of transport, which the French national spending watchdog has frequently warned is a concern, “is heading in the right direction”.
