Ferriani wins new term as Winter Sports Federations president in election disputed by Eliasch
Despite an election in which he received zero votes after withdrawing his name, International Ski Federation president Johan Eliasch remains adamant in pursuing the Association of International Olympic Winter Sport’s Federations leadership position. A source close to FIS contends official procedures were not adhered to concerning the AIOWF’s recent General Assembly, and therefore the outcome of president Ivo Ferriani’s reelection should be invalid
