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.
Everyone at GB Snowsport is deeply saddened to hear confirmation that Raph Rinaldi, a much-loved member of our physiotherapy team, has been declared dead having been missing since 2022.
Raph was an integral part of our Paralympic team for a number of years, and was well loved and deeply admired by many of our athletes, coaches, staff, and supporters. His contribution to the team was enormous, and his love and passion for sport was clear and deeply held. Everyone connected with GB Snowsport who knew Raph will have fond memories of his time with us, and his absence is a huge loss for our sport and the wider sporting community.
All of our thoughts are with Raph’s family and friends at this time.
