Let's see what happens when the owner of Head starts reworking an institution as inertia-driven as the FIS. Eliasch is an interesting choice, being a big-time industry insider with a lot of money to throw at athletes. I'm working what he'll think of the fiscal health of FIS departments.
Note that Eliasch won on the first ballot with just over 54 percent of the vote. Behind him was Swiss Ski Federation chair (and former World Cup racer) Urs Lehmann (~22%), former Belgian FIS insider Sarah Lewis (~15%), and Sweden's Mats Arjes (~11%).
