Eight members of the Japan Skating Federation executive committee will resign at the end of June over their alleged involvement in questionable business operations, federation officials said Tuesday.
The JSF admitted the handling of its operations for staging international figure skating meets was inappropriate and decided to have the eight leave their posts at an executive committee meeting held earlier in the day.
The eight executive committee members include acting president Mitsuzo Fujimori and Noriko Shirota, who is known for developing the talent of Olympic gold medalist Shizuka Arakawa in her junior years.
