International Skating Union set to reelect president Kim unopposed

The International Skating Union will hold a presidential election on Friday, where Jae Youl Kim is expected to be reappointed unopposed for another four-year term. This comes in the aftermath of the successful Milan Cortina Olympics, which highlighted the performances of notable athletes like Alysa Liu and Ilia Malinin. Kim's reelection signifies a period of stability for the ISU, contrasting the recent turmoil in the skiing federation. The organization recently announced plans to more than double its prize money to $11.1 million for the upcoming season, alongside increased support for travel costs. Kim's leadership looks to enhance the sport's appeal and athlete experience as discussions about the inclusion of Russian skaters remain on the agenda.
