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.[2]
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.
