The International Skating Union (ISU) has confirmed the four candidates that will contest to succeed long-serving President Ottavio Cinquanta as its new President.

Jan Dijkema of the Netherlands, Frenchman Didier Gailhaguet, Britain’s Christopher Buchanan and Hungary’s György Sallak will be participating in an election that will take place during the ISU Congress in Dubrovnik, Croatia in June.

The ISU made the announcement of candidates after the deadline for submissions officially closed on Monday (April 25).

Cinquanta has been head of the ISU for 22 years and was originally due to step down as President in June 2014.
