Norges Skiforbund vil bytte ut FIS-presidenten
Norges Skiforbund er blant flere andre nasjoner som vil ha endring i Det internasjonale skiforbundet (FIS) og vil kaste sittende president Johan Eliasch.
Skiforbundet skriver på egne nettsider at flere skinasjoner uttrykker sterk bekymring for utviklingen til Det internasjonale ski- og snowboardforbundet (FIS) under ledelsen til svensk-amerikaneren.
– Vi mener at sittende president Johan Eliasch ikke bør lede FIS videre. Årsakene til det er blant annet manglende åpenhet og involvering, disponering av felles midler som tærer på organisasjonens reserver og internasjonal skisports omdømme, sier generalsekretær Ola Keul i Norges Skiforbund.
Det er valg under den 57. FIS-kongressen 10. og 11. juni. Kongressen holdes i Beograd i Serbia.
Eliasch er en av fem kandidater som stiller til valg. Norges Skiforbund har ikke tatt stilling til hvilken kandidat de vil gå for. (NTB) somethingsdifferent.biz
Emma Raducanu rehires coach who helped her to 2021 US Open triumph
Andrew Richardson helped her win slam as an 18-year-old
Partnership to start at Strasbourg in French Open buildup
Emma Raducanu has rehired Andrew Richardson, the coach who helped guide her to her sensational US Open triumph in 2021, on a formal basis as she prepares to return to competition next week in Strasbourg in the buildup to the French Open.
Richardson will accompany Raducanu at the WTA 500 event as she competes for the first time in two months after struggling with a post-viral illness. During the early days of her return to the courts, Raducanu travelled to Richardson’s base at the Ferrer Academy in La Nucía, Spain, near Benidorm, for a clay-court training block that doubled as a trial period for a potential formal partnership.

The NFC North race could come down to whether Detroit can win in Minnesota in December, and in Chicago and Green Bay in January.
The Lions, who are currently the betting favorites to win the NFC North, play their three division road games in the final four weeks of the season.
Detroit is at Minnesota in Week 15 on Sunday, December 20. After playing the Giants at home in Week 16, the Lions finish the season at Chicago in Week 17 on Sunday, January 3, and at Green Bay in Week 18, which could be either Saturday, January 9, or Sunday, January 10.
It's a tough road stretch to end the season, but the Lions also get a nice home stretch in the middle of their season: After their Week Six bye, the Lions play five of their next six games at home, including all three of their division home games.
That home stretch will give the Lions a good chance of building a lead in the division. But winning the division will likely require winning on the road at the end of the season.
