Didier Gailhaguet is back. He was re-elected on Sunday June 24 for a new 4-year term as president of the French Ice Sports Federation (FFSG). The former skater, aged 64, obtained a very comfortable score of 78% of the votes. Elected for the first time in 1998, he has chaired the FFSG for 20 years, with the exception of a 3-year interlude between 2004 and 2007. With his victory in hand, Didier Gailhaguet clarified the three axes of his federal policy for the new Olympiad: the detection of young talents via a specific plan, the training of a new generation of managers through the “Let’s train the best coaches in the world” program, and finally the organization in France of major events on the international calendar . A final axis already materialized by the announcement, Sunday June 24 during the general assembly of the FFSG in Marne-la-Vallée, of France's candidacy for the World Figure Skating Championships in 2022.
