This tweet says that Gailhaguet has been reelected, and that France will be bidding for 2022 Worlds.

Discuss.

What else to discuss other than... disappointment.

 

[moriel]

hmmm well, 2022 worlds will be after olympics, so probably usual meh without many top teams
if france is going to get any worlds, i prefer them to have 2022 rather than a regular year worlds.

Oyyy....

Watery ice, Stars for medals, wobbly disco podiums, and televised flags. Maybe they'll have it all fixed by then.

I really don't understand this...fans and skaters alike won't be happy. He got 78% of the votes, so presumably there was another candidate. Who was that? Last time I think Gwendal Peizerat had a go at it (with backing from many skaters) but ultimately lost. So who lost the vote this time round?

Well that raises my faith in the future of FS.... or not

The hits really do keep coming, don't they?

Out of all the news this off season this is clearly one of the most disappointing but somehow unsurprising. Is there anyway to get someone else as president? Or are we stuck with him for life?

Clearly alternative means of disposal are necessary...

The Skating Powers That Be continue to prove they are not only hopelessly corrupt, but they have excrement for brains.

Well, all french top skaters will still run far away from France.

How old is he?

 

[Andrea82]

Former skater Alban Preaubert (active in the 2004-2011 period) is appointed as "président du patinage artistique"

Morgan Cipres is elected to the Federal Council as one of the athlete representatives (the others are speed skaters)

How old is he?

Born in 1953

Well I am not surprised. Why does Gwendal Peizerat (or anyone else) think that he would be a good candidate? Just because he was a skater? Former athletes most often than not do not always make the best managers and leaders. Gwendal Peizerat not only has zero experience, but has done nothing to demonstrate that he could be successful in this role. Maybe he should try coaching or something.

I am sometimes very skeptical of those who think that their name recognition and celebrity is sufficient to upend and lead a revolt against a system. He should to do something modest and humbling like coaching first.

We'll, there's always hope that my crazy prediction comes true...

I suppose Papadakis and Cizeron could threaten to go on strike until he is ousted.
