Paris, 22 September – The President of the District France of Panathlon International, Marc Rozenblat, accompanied by International Past President Pierre Zappelli, met with the Secretary General of the French National Olympic Committee (CNOSF), Cédric Gosse, in Paris.
This was the first official meeting between PI and CNOSF, a significant moment of dialogue and rapprochement. Although CNOSF President Amélie Oudea Castera was unable to attend due to urgent commitments, Evelyne Ciriegi, President of the CNOSF Regional Committee and the Club Paris, was present at the meeting.
During the working lunch, Gosse, who also holds the position of President of the French Triathlon Federation, expressed keen interest in the Panathletic movement. The conversation focused in particular on the relationship between Panathlon International and the French Fair Play Committee, highlighting how the two organisations pursue different but complementary objectives, paving the way for possible synergies.
A key element that emerged from the meeting was the prospect of future collaboration on common issues, with the aim of promoting the ethical and cultural principles of sport.
The mission concluded with an official presentation at the CROSIF (Ile de France Regional Olympic Committee), where Panathlon's activities and values were illustrated through a series of slides that aroused great interest and numerous requests for further information.
With this meeting, the District France of Panathlon International laid the foundations for structured collaboration with the French Olympic movement, strengthening its presence and role as a promoter of the universal values of sport.
