FIS to Elect First New Leader in 23 Years 3rd June 2021 A new President will be chosen to head the International Ski Federation at the governing body’s online Congress tomorrow. A British former alpine racer is hoping to be the first woman to take on the role. NEW
It’s without doubt the most important election for FIS in a long time, perhaps ever. The person chosen will take over from Gian-Franco Kasper who has run the organisation for 23 years. No woman has ever been President in its almost 100-year history and only one is among the four candidates. She is Sarah Lewis who was unceremoniously sacked without warning from her role as Secretary General of FIS last year.
