GB Snowsport loses UK Sport funding but athletes unaffected

Core Impact Points

• UK Sport will invest £12.5m in snow sports, but not through GB Snowsport, the UK governing body.
• The decision comes after Team GB's successful Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina, where they won five medals, including three golds.
• The funding will now be channeled through a new organization, with athletes and coaches continuing to receive funding directly.
• GB Snowsport has changed its chair twice in the past three years and is currently advertising for a new chair.
• The increased overall investment in winter sports is up from about £32.5m for the 2026 Winter Olympics and Paralympics cycle.
• About a third of the investment (£10m) will go to bobsleigh and skeleton, which provided two of Team GB's three gold medals at Milan-Cortina.
