I suppose google might come up with an answer if not the answer, but could someone explain something likely everyone knows but me. I am brave to ask, so please no eyerolling. (Hey, I saw that Olympia, )h Sochi 2 years away should we expect any changes in leadership?
Why is Cinquanta head of ISU if figureskating is a more dominant sport than speedskating, which not many care about? It seems he gets blamed for a great deal, and likely deservedly so, but why is a former speedskater the head of the ISU? And does it not seem, um, counterproductive if not downright stupid to have a speedskater involved in heading a sport that is struggling, and has gone through huge changes in the last decade? Is there tenure? I never knew and finally will ask, since I am here to learn. Forgive this Q you GS diehards know all about in detail. Seriously, thanks in advance.
