Jae Youl Kim, president of the International Skating Union (ISU), is set to be re-elected for a second four-year term on Friday, with no opponent presented by member associations. The vote follows a period of leadership momentum tied to ice skating’s recent Olympic success in Milan. Sources describe the election as occurring without the internal upheaval that has recently affected the ISU’s Olympic counterpart in skiing. Kim has also taken on an additional role beyond the ISU: several months earlier, he was elevated to the International Olympic Committee’s executive board as a representative for winter sports. With the ISU election proceeding unopposed, the process is framed as largely routine for members, focused on confirming continuity in leadership. Overall, reporting across outlets presents the re-election as a straightforward decision by ISU members, occurring in the broader context of winter sports governance and international Olympic representation.
