After Jenny Jones’ record breaking first British medal on snow at the 2014 Sochi Games, UK Sport, the UK’s high performance sports agency, began funding the GB Park+Pipe team, enabling the support of a full coaching programme as well as athlete personal support for 16 of the best athletes.
After winning two more medals at PyeongChang 2018 and achieving a host of World Cup podiums and top 10s in multiple disciplines, GBS received a funding increase for the Beijing 2022 cycle which also includes an allocation for Parasnowsports which won seven medals.
In July 2018, GBS took on responsibilities for Parasnowsports including Alpine, Nordic and Snowboard, while it continues to licence competitors in Alpine, Cross Country, Freestyle Skiing, Snowboarding, Telemark, Speed Skiing and Ski Jumping. Over 350 athletes are registered with GBS and compete in international events, and the organisation works closely with Clubs, Academies and the Home Nations to provide opportunities for aspiring international athletes.
