Raphaël Martinetti
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Raphaël Martinetti is a Swiss businessman and President of the International Federation of Associated Wrestling Styles (FILA).[1] He was elected to this position in 2002, succeeding Milan Ercegan from Yugoslavia. Previously, Martinetti was head of the FILA officiating committee and served on the FILA Bureau for twenty years.
Martinetti resigned as the FILA President at the February 15-16, 2013 meeting of the FILA Executive Committee, after a no confidence vote.[2][3] The resignation followed the decision by the IOC less than a week earlier to remove wrestling from the list of core olympic sports, that are guaranteed to be represented at the olympics, starting with the 2020 Summer Olympic Games.[3] The FILA Executive Committee appointed Nenand Lalovic to be an interim FILA President until a new President is elected at a FILA congress.[2]
