Is this a first effect of the new governance? Now in the hands of South Korean Kim Jae-Youl, the International Skating Union (ISU) wants to innovate. She announces the creation this year of World Ice Skating Day. Its first edition is scheduled for December 4, 2022 across the globe. Objective: to bring together the entire skating family, from professionals to beginners, including amateurs and newcomers, in all disciplines, for a day of practice, demonstrations and events. It will take place each year on the first Sunday in December. The ISU hopes to mobilize its member federations, but also local clubs and ice rinks, to attract a new audience, primarily children and young people, including in countries without a great culture of skating and ice sports. To date, the ISU has already registered a large number of initiatives, notably in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Great Britain, China, France (Ice Sports Club in Cergy-Pontoise), India, Korea South, United States and even Thailand.
