An election is set to be held for an administrator to join the Board, with French Federation of Wrestling and Associated Disciplines (FFLDA) vice-president Legrand and French Federation of Judo and Associated Disciplines (FFJDA) President Nomis in the running.

French Handball Federation secretary general Michel Godard had initially applied, but later withdrew.

Legrand, an Olympic wrestling bronze medallist in the women's freestyle under-63 kilograms category, vowed to bring her experience and expertise to the CNOSF Board to ensure French sport seizes the opportunity provided by Paris 2024 to "leave a legacy with the societal challenge of developing sport and practicing sport in our country".

Nomis was elected as FFJDA President in 2020, and wants to "bring my experience as a leader, my vision of sport, and to work with my fellow Federation Presidents and members of the CNOSF to build the future of French sport" if elected to the board.

He believes Paris 2024 provides an opportunity to "consider the necessary changes to be made to the sports movement".

Candidates had their applications reviewed by the CNOSF Ethics Committee and validated by the Executive Bureau.

The Board of Directors currently consists of 48 members, including International Olympic Committee (IOC) members in France Guy Drut, Jean-Christophe Rolland and Martin Fourcade.

The CNOSF has been led by another IOC member in International Cycling Union President David Lappartient since June after he beat Emmanuelle Bonnet-Oulaldj in an election to succeed Brigitte Henriques.

Lappartient has said he will not take a salary for the role and does not want to stand again at the next election in 2025, but hopes to steer the CNOSF through Paris 2024.

The CNOSF had been plunged into turmoil following Henriques' shock resignation, which came following criticism from her predecessor Denis Masseglia and a feud with former secretary general Didier Séminet last year.
