Hhmmm,Haha...I know. But we could be crazy, right? It frustrates me no end that the Dutch are good and big in speed skating and just terrible in figure skating (as well as small, but that's a logical consequence) and that the speeders get to decide on things. Aargh!
Maybe we can envisage an ISU SSF (small skating federation suborg) in which countries can only participate in the events and governance for the sport in which they are "small" ...
The Dutch and Belgians, not being able to resist being in power in any ISU org, will leap into the fray to attempt to dominate the figure skating side of the SSF. Even if this means that they have to support their skater's participation in SFS figure skating events!
The French are faced with a quandary. Are they a big federation or a small one?
Didier Gailhauget, seeing his main chance to be president of something in the ISU, attempts to steer France into the SSF. The dignity of the Republic is at risk, so French skaters, coaches, judges and fans rise up as one to "invite Didier to retire."
Didier accepts the inevitable and withdraws from his position in the French federation.
In a major public ceremony and media event, Didier is thanked with the presentation of a paper maché trophy in the shape of a figure skate.
It is filled with inferior quality champagne and dissolves before the eyes of the crowd.
