RESULTS
NO 59 MAY 2016
One of the most challenging dilemmas for the President, and the Executive Body, of an International Sports Federation (IF) is related to the direction the IF should take. The question is either to insist on keeping the traditions of the IF or to take an approach to modernize the Federation and the Sports it governs. To maintain or to change for the sake of it could prove to be a mistake without any return possible. A fine balance needs to be found. Changes, big or small, in order to modernize the Federation, should be in line with the final purpose to be attractive enough to earn more popularity and consequently earn more money.

Having said that, sometimes a Federation needs to change drastically its sports or it runs the risk of just not being able to do anything than to maintain its sports as they were for many years. Today there are examples where Team Events constitute an important attraction because they consequently refer to a country and not to an individual which can be more appealing for some. However the performance of certain exciting sports is clearly in front of us and to insist on maintaining the beauty of certain sports, without paying attention to new aspects or possibilities, that would render the sport suitable for more exposure, would be a mistake. Careful assessment needs to be made in order to determine if the sacrifice of certain aspects of a sport could yield greater results. A practical and wise advice would be to try to change over a certain period in order to permit new sports or disciplines to be conducted with another approach. It is difficult to say how long this period should go on for. It is suggested however that prompt action be taken in order to avoid the mistake related to the insistence to maintain the sports as they were in the past without adopting other initiatives. As my final message in the ISU World, I would like to thank all those who have contributed to the success of the ISU and the development of all our sports over the years. It would be impossible to list all the names in such a short space, but I cannot fail to thank the ISU Council, the ISU Office Holders, the ISU Members and the ISU Secretariat who have relentlessly pushed the Federation and its sports forward. The direction the ISU takes will be in the hands of the new President and Council and I wish them much success for the future.

SPORTS DIRECTORATE The Lillehammer 2016 Winter Youth Olympic Games (YOG) were well attended and provided the young athletes both a valuable athletic and cultural experience as we head toward PyeongChang 2018. The competitive Season may be over, but the education phase now commences with athletes, Coaches, Judges and Technical Panel seminars all scheduled in preparation for the next competitive year.
ISU NEWS The ISU Ice Dance Development Training Seminar will start in Oberstdorf (GER). Shortly after the Seminar for Skaters and Coaches, similar events will be held for Pair Skaters in Berlin (GER) and for Synchronized Skaters in Vierumaki (FIN). The ISU Global Seminar in Frankfurt (GER) will take place in July. In the Speed Skating Branch, the World Championships in Speed Skating and Short Track Speed Skating showed a very high level of performance. The 2016/17 ISU World Cup calendars in both disciplines have been submitted and approved by the ISU Council. A number of inspection visits for the 2017 Championships are scheduled for the coming months. The Sports Directors are also busy with the 2016 ISU Congress preparations. A number of proposals have been discussed and prepared with the respective Technical Committees.
ISU TECHNICAL COMMITTEES Single and Pair Skating
Members of the Single and Pair Skating Technical Committee (SPTC) served as Referees and Technical Controllers at some of the 22 International Competitions (including YOG) and four ISU Championships that took place between January and May 2016. The SPTC also studied over 200 Reports. The Committee held three meetings, during the ISU European and World Figure Skating Championships and the spring meeting in Italy. One of the main subjects of these meetings was the ISU Congress proposals, including proposals from the SPTC. During the spring meeting, a lot of time was devoted to preparing the names of Officials to be nominated by the ISU President for service at the ISU Events next Season. In May SPTC Members together with other Officials served as moderators of one ISU Sponsored and two ISU Recognized Judges Seminars.
Ice Dance
Members of the Ice Dance Technical Committee (IDTC) participated as Referees and Technical Controllers at Events. Meetings were held with Coaches at all ISU Championships. Congress Proposals prepared by the IDTC as well as some joint proposals with other Technical Committees were presented in Boston (USA). Communications on Technical Requirements, Educational DVDs of Key Points for the Pattern Dance Elements, and presentations for Judges and Referees Seminars are all ready for the new Season. During the IDTC spring meeting reports were reviewed and the Judges lists and preliminary assignments were updated. Judges and Referees Seminars
will be held in Gdansk (POL), Seoul (KOR) and Dortmund (GER) in the next few months. A Development Training Seminar was held in Oberstdorf (GER) last April for Junior Couples and their Coaches. A Development Training Seminar for Skaters and Coaches from Asia, Oceania, the Pacific Region and South Africa will be held in Seoul (KOR) on August 14 - 20, 2016.
Synchronized Skating
It has been a busy season for the Synchronized Skating Technical Committee (SySTC) and a historic Season for Synchronized Skating with the inclusion of the discipline in the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final and the inaugural Shanghai Trophy Event. The Junior World Challenge Cup and World Championships showed that the quality of skating continues to improve every Season. The SySTC have worked on a number of Proposals that will be submitted to the ISU Congress, to see the liberalization of the rules to allow teams freedom to include more Elements that will further enhance the audience appeal. Other proposed changes are designed to simplify the rules for Coaches as well as for the Technical Panels. The objective is to make the calling of the programs simpler and clearer to everyone. The SySTC has been working closely with broadcast partners to understand how to make the discipline more appealing to television audiences.
Speed Skating
Speed Skating Technical Committee (SSTC) had technical representatives at five Championships, six World Cups and four Junior World Cups and a Technical Delegate at the YOG. The annual meeting with Coaches took place in Heerenveen (NED) on the occasion of the ISU World Cup final. A new competition format was held during the YOG. The mixed NOC Team Sprint was a success among the teams and for the spectators. Two Ladies and two Men composed a team all from different NOCs and based on the results from individual events producing even teams. The SSTC met in Minsk (BLR) during the European Championships and in Frankfurt last April to review the Congress Proposals and prepare reports and other documents for the ISU Congress. The SSTC, together with the Vice President and the Sports Director Speed Skating, work on the ISU Events calendar for 2016/17.
Short Track
A record number of Athletes participated in the ISU World Junior Championships.
193 skaters from 39 countries competed, showing the number of participants is on the rise. All ISU Championships were successful and the level of competition was high. The inaugural ISU Shanghai Trophy, an event showcasing Short Track Speed Skating and Synchronized Skating, showed great potential. The Short Track Speed Skating Technical Committee (STSSTC) met in Seoul (KOR) to finalize two projects initiated by the STSSTC: the Officials Database and the Race Repor System. The goal is to use these two systems during the new season. The Committee also is working to determine the location of the annual Officials’ Seminar and various other meetings. A large amount of work has also been ongoing to prepare the Congress Proposals.
