GB Snowsport statement on UK Sport funding

GB Snowsport is disappointed by UK Sport’s decision to propose an alternative investment route for snowsport funding for the 2030 Olympic and Paralympic cycle.

We remain fully committed to supporting our athletes in their performance endeavours.

We are hugely proud of everything that we have achieved over the past four years, not least the remarkable medal successes on the international stage culminating in Britain’s greatest ever Olympic Winter Games on snow in Milan-Cortina. Our athletes, staff, and sports have achieved incredible things on and off snow over recent years, and we firmly believe the system we have built together remains the most effective way to continue to support Britain’s snowsport athletes.

We do remain committed to continuing to work with UK Sport on these matters in a constructive way. However, we reserve the right to keep all options open to ensure that the achievements of the past four years are not lost as we approach another European Games.

We have recently concluded an independent governance review funded by UK Sport, which has confirmed that our governance standards remain strong and appropriate. We look forward to engaging fully and robustly in any new review, which we are confident will reach the same conclusions.
