French Federation of Ice Sports

French Federation of Ice Sports (or French Ice Sports Federation; Fédération française des sports de glace or FFSG) is the national governing body for a number of ice sports in France.

It manages completely different sports disciplines whose only commonality is that they are practiced on ice. This explains the structural complexity of the organization.

Sport disciplines
The French Federation of Ice Sports manages several groups of sports:
 * Artistic sports: figure skating, ice dance, synchronized skating, and ballet on ice
 * Performance sports on ice rink: speed skating, and short track
 * Performance sports on ice track: bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton
 * Team sport: curling

From 1942 to 2006, the FFSG also managed French ice hockey. Creation of the French Ice Hockey Federation on April 29, 2006 established an independent body to supervise this sport.
