'This can't be the end' - British Olympic skiers launch appeal for financial help after funding cut
Great Britain's Olympic alpine skiers have launched an appeal for help after their funding was cut by UK Sport. GB Snowsport confirmed last week that the body had deemed the alpine, cross-country and para-Nordic programmes to no longer be eligible for «World Class Programme» funding amid a wider reduction ahead of the 2026 Winter Olympics. Ad Team GB entered four alpine skiers at Beijing 2022, including Dave Ryding, who was one of the team's flag-bearers at the opening ceremony in China and in January became Britain's first winner of a World Cup race with a stunning victory in Kitzbuhel.
