Four candidates for the presidency of the French Federation of Ice Sports (FFSG) have been validated, including that of the former ice dancer Nathalie Péchalat, and three dismissed, the federation announced in a press release on Wednesday.
The election of Didier Gailhaguet's successor, forced to resign a month ago, swept away by an unprecedented wave of revelations of sexual violence in French skating, is scheduled for Saturday March 14 in Paris.
In addition to that of Péchalat, the candidacies of the president of the club of Angers Damien Boyer-Gibaud, mounted on the front line to call for the departure of Gailhaguet, the short-track trainer Gilles Jouanny and the ex- Bobeur Michel-Ange Marie-Calixte.
Three candidates for the hatch
The candidacies of the former international figure skating judge Marie-Reine Le Gougne, the former short-track world champion Marc Bella and Hubert Godefroy, former vice-president of the FFSG and former president of the Federal Council , on the other hand “were not retained because they do not comply with the criteria mentioned in our statutes”, specifies the FFSG.
Two seats on the Federal Council, the federation's supervisory and control body, are also to be filled. Among the twelve successful candidates, is that of Philippe Candeloro.
