  • Towards Positive Leadership in Non-Profit Organizations
    Towards Positive Leadership In Non-Profit Organizations Saana Lindman Master’s Thesis Degree Programme in Sport Development and Management 2017 Abstract Author Saana Lindman Degree programme Sport Development and Management Thesis title Number of pages Towards Positive Leadership In Non-Profit Organizations and appendix pages 93 + 16 The aim of this thesis was to study the current usage of positive leadership methods in figure skating clubs in Finland, and to give practical tools for the clubs to apply positive leadership in their daily basis actions. Most of the non-profit sport organizations are lead by voluntary based boards and the president of the board is the superior of the coaches. In figure skating most of the coaches are paid workers and therefore they should have the rights for decent working surroundings. The author has years of experience as a coach and has seen the need for the improvements in the field. The study was created by using both quantitative survey and triangulation methods. The author contacted 76 figure skating clubs out of the 80 figure skating clubs in Finland, which made this a census study. The data was gathered with Webropol survey and analyzed by using Webropol and Microsoft Excel. One third of the Finland’s figure skating clubs partici- pated in the research. The data was collected regionally within the whole Finland and there were both small and big clubs participated. According to the self-evaluations made by the leaders, the current usage of positive leader- ship methods were quite high in the clubs. The average of the leaders emphasized positive leadership in their responses: rates in all four positive leadership categories differed from 3,56 to 3,84 in scale of 1 to 5.

  • Communication No. 2307 Challenger Series in Figure Skating Season
    Communication No. 2307 Challenger Series in Figure Skating Season 2020/21 1. PREAMBLE The Challenger Series, introduced during the 2014/15 season as series of International Figure Skating Competitions financially supported by the ISU (see ISU Communications 1858, 1894, 1928, 1994, 2074, 2151 and 2227) has proven to be successful and an excellent tool for many Skaters to get prepared for qualifying and competing in ISU Championships. The ISU Council reiterates that being mindful that the ISU support towards the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating is restricted to a limited group of organizing ISU Members, to a limited number of Skaters and to a limited number of Officials, the ISU Council agreed to financially support a restricted group of identified ISU Members traditionally staging International Figure Skating Competitions being part of the ISU Event Calendar. This ISU support has the objective to ensure the proper and consistent organization and conduct of up to ten (10) International Competitions linked together within the Challenger Series giving adequate opportunities for many Skaters to compete at the international senior level and earn World Standing Points and to increase the opportunity for Officials to officiate at an international level. Since the season 2019/20, only five (5) Competitions include Pair Skating to ensure that these competitions have the minimum number of Pairs required to fulfil the criteria for a Challenger Series competition. 2. COMPETITIONS INCLUDED In recognition of the long standing tradition and merit of the following International Competitions, there will be a core group of five (5) Challenger Series events, namely: - Nebelhorn-Trophy in Oberstdorf (GER) - Finlandia Trophy (FIN) - Ondrej Nepela Trophy in Bratislava (SVK) - Golden Spin of Zagreb (CRO) - One event in Canada or the United States to be agreed upon among the ISU Figure Skating Members in Canada and the United States.

  • ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Season 2020/21
    August 4, 2020 Lausanne, Switzerland ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating season 2020/21 The ISU Council met on August 3, 2020 via an online meeting to discuss the 2020/21 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series among other topics. Considering the continued critical COVID-19 developments involving many travel and other restrictions and especially risks around the World, the Council reiterated its basic policy decided during its April 28, 2020 Council meeting (ISU Communication 2320), namely that the health and safety of the participants of international ice skating events remains the number one priority. Mindful of the concern for health and safety related to COVID-19 but also the need to give Skaters the best possible opportunities to compete internationally, the ISU will give its utmost support to ISU Members in order to stage all international competitions that can safely be held during the season 2020/21. Considering the above mentioned exceptional circumstances, the basic ISU policy and with the objective to limit COVID-19 risky international traveling to the minimum, the Council considered a proposal received from the six organizing ISU Members of the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating series (Canada, China, France, Japan, Russia, USA). In line with the powers granted to the Council as per Article 17.1.q) of ISU Constitution, the Council agreed in principle to the proposal that each individual ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating event of the season 2020/21 becomes a domestic run event. The Council agreement in principle remains subject to the ISU and each of the six organizing ISU Grand Prix Members reaching a detailed agreement.
