France will send its Minister of Sports, Roxana Maracineanu, to the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, local media reported, citing Minister of State for European Affairs Clement Beaune.

"There will be a presence of the Minister Delegate for Sports, Roxana Maracineanu, probably not at the opening ceremony, but to support our athletes at some point during these Olympics ," Le Fiago quoted Beaune as saying.
