Some of you may remember that the long time President, the infamous Didier Gailhaguet, was forced out two years into his most recent four year term at FFGS.
Former ice dancer, Natalie Péchalat, was elected to replace him, finishing out the final two years of his term. She represented the FFGS at the recent ISU meetings in Thailand.
A new election has now been held and, by a 52 to 48% margin, Natalie has been replaced by Gwenaëlle Gigarel-Noury.
There is a lot of "talk" about how Didier promoted Gwenaëlle, visiting the many clubs around the country, criticizing Natalie and promoting "his" candidate. There is a lot of concern over things sliding back, after changes and improvements that had been made. Some folks are referring to Didier as a puppet master.
I guess we will see how things evolve...
