Access All AreasOn the back of the UK’s success at Milan Cortina, UK Sport said it will invest a record £33 million into UK’s Olympic and Paralympic winter sports.
The Government body said funding will support athletes preparations for Alpes 2030 Winter Olympics.
Team GB equalled its best ever Winter Olympic medal haul in Milan Cortina, winning five medals including three golds, the first time Britain has won more than one gold medal at a single Winter Games.
Separately, UK Sport will be commissioning an independent review into the governance of GB Snowsport.
“Milan Cortina showed what British winter sport is capable of, with incredible performances across more sports than ever before, our best-ever Winter Olympic medal haul and a nation gripped by the amazing feats of our athletes,” said UK Sport director of performance and people Kate Baker.
“Competition across Olympic and Paralympic winter sport is only getting stronger, which is why it’s more important than ever that we invest where we can have the biggest impact. It is also why we are not afraid of driving the change needed to give our athletes the very best chance of success. The investments we are announcing today, alongside the reform we are driving in the system, will enable us to do exactly that.”
