The Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games are under way and Sport England are proud of the role they play in supporting aspiring winter sport athletes.
Sport England invest National Lottery and Government funding into talent pathways in several winter sports and, through SportsAid and other partners, they fund financial and athlete support programmes like Backing The Best and TASS.
Their investment favours sports in which participants can train and compete at community sports facilities in England – namely indoor or dry snow sports, with a greater focus on park and pipe and slopestyle, rather than (for example) alpine skiing or biathlon.
