French Federation of Ice Sports (or French Ice Sports Federation; French: Fédération française des sports de glace or FFSG) is the national governing body for a number of ice sports in France.[1]
It manages completely different sports disciplines with the only thing in common being that they are practiced on ice. This explains the structural complexity of the organization.
Sport disciplines
The French Federation of Ice Sports manages several groups of sports:
- Artistic sports: figure skating, ice dance, synchronized skating, and ballet on ice
- Performance sports on ice rink: speed skating, and short track
- Performance sports on ice track: bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton
- Team sport: curling
From 1942 to 2006, the FFSG also managed the French ice hockey, until the creation of the French Ice Hockey Federation on April 29, 2006.
