This article questions the leveraging effect of Olympic bids in kind of collaborative governance, by articulating federal-local interests. It is based on a case study of the collaborative relation between the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Agglomeration Community and the French cycling federation from 2000 to 2020. The contribution retraces the local collaboration process in a specific context: first showing the role the 2012 Olympic bid played in the implementation of a federal-local partnership, 2nd explaining in which extent the 2024 Olympic bid has been used to foster the structuration of this partnership. This work uses Kingdon’ streams theory to put in light the capacity of Olympic bids to open up ‘policy windows’ for the implementation of collaborative sport policies.

Le présent article interroge la capacité des candidatures olympiques à créer les conditions de l'articulation entre les politiques sportives fédérales et locales. Il s'appuie sur un cas d'étude portant sur la relation entre Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines (un territoire intercommunal situé à 20 kilomètres de Paris) et la Fédération française de cyclisme entre 2000 et 2020. La contribution retrace le processus de collaboration entre ces deux organisations dans les contextes de candidature parisienne aux Jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques de 2012 et de 2024. En s'appuyant sur la force explicative des dynamiques locales, les auteurs mobilisent la théorie des flux de Kingdon (1984) pour souligner le rôle déterminant des candidatures olympiques dans la convergence des flux des problèmes, de la politique et des politiques publiques. Celles-ci favorisent donc l'ouverture de fenêtres d'opportunité vers la mise en place de politiques sportives partenariales.
