Has the International Olympic Committee intervened in the election of the ski and snowboard association Fis, as the elected Johan Eliasch claims? Apparently, a major conflict has raged behind the scenes for a long time.
The presidential election at the FIS Ski World Federation was a real thriller. The opposition around Austria, Germany and Switzerland wanted to get rid of Johan Eliasch - and won hunderthin.
Johan Eliasch, the controversial president of the World Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS), has been elected. In an electoral crime the billionaire received 64 votes at the Congress in Belgrade - exactly one more vote was given to his opponent Alexander Ospelt from Liechtenstein. His opponent Ospelt was elected for four years.
The FIS-congress in Belgrade is already starting to stir. First, the planned award of the World Cup to Oberstdorf or Planica was surprisingly postponed after a long delay, which led to whistles, anger and amazement in the hall. On Thursday, Switzerland called for a paper election in the election of the president.
