UK Sport has decided to withdraw all funding from GB Snowsport for the upcoming Olympic cycle following a governance review. This decision comes after Team GB's successful performance at the Winter Olympics and amidst record funding commitments for British winter sports leading up to the Alpes 2030 Games.
Despite the funding withdrawal, UK Sport has pledged £12.5 million for ski and snowboard events, with a new funding structure outside of GB Snowsport expected to be announced soon. The organization has faced leadership instability, having changed chairs twice in three years, and is currently under scrutiny for its governance practices.
With GB Snowsport's funding cut, athletes should stay alert for UK Sport's upcoming announcement on the new funding structure. This shift may lead to changes in coaching and athlete support, impacting preparations for the Alpes 2030 Games.
