Russian Alexander Kibalko was elected to the International Skating
Union Council at its Congress in Phuket, but the country does not have
a single representative on the ISU technical committees.
Alexander Lakernik, the Russian vice-president of the International
Skating Union, is unable to stand for re-election at the Congress in
Phuket, after a motion to raise the age limit for officials failed to
pass.
Russian and Belarusian officials have been allowed to stand in the
International Skating Union’s elections after surviving a vote to
exclude them from the organisation’s Congress in Phuket in Thailand.
The National Federations of Russia and Belarus could be suspended by
the International Skating Union over the war in Ukraine if a
last-ditch motion is passed at next month’s Congress.
The International Skating Union has officially confirmed the four
individuals that are aiming to become the new head of the
organisation, while vice-president Alexander Lakernik is among six
Russian officials standing in the upcoming elections despite
opposition due to the war in Ukraine.
