Chief Sports Officer British Sally Munday said the results of a White Review of allegations of abuse and bullying in gymnastics would help shape Team GB’s approach to athlete integrity and well-being.
The Elite Sports fundraiser intends to publish an article on integrity in high-performance sports later this month, as it focuses not only on winning medals in the Olympics and Paralympics, but also on “winning well” However he will examine this article. White Reviewer before finalizing its strategy
« [The review] This is an extremely important time for our system and our community, ”Munde said.
“We need to listen and understand the findings of the White Review and then we will establish a very clear integrity strategy for high performance systems.”
An interim report by reviewer Anne White QC, released in March, found that there were about 400 submissions, 39 of which were so potentially serious that they were referred to the statutory authorities concerned.
The final version of the exam is expected in August.
UK Sport is determined to lose a reputation for winning at any cost, having previously been beset by Olympic and Paralympic sports, gymnastics is an example of a sport where athletes’ well-being or sport integrity is sacrificed in the pursuit of success .
However, Munde believes that a better crop should not mean less medals.
“We don’t see it as ‘one or the other’,” she said.
“We don’t see that you can only win a medal in a certain way – on the contrary, we see that a good culture, a good environment, places where people can really excel, really lead to a medal Go. “
UK Sport is still aiming for the top five places in the medal tally of the Summer Olympics and Paralympic Games from Paris 2024, but wants these medals to be won by athletes from more diverse backgrounds in a wider range of sports.
The UK is planning 97 sporting events it can offer to host before 2031
The UK has identified around 100 international sporting events, which it intends to host over the next decade, which will bring a combined benefit to the economy of around £ 7bn.
UK Sport, with strong government support, has booked 97 events in 44 sports, including 46 World Championships by 2031.
Some of these events have already been secured, while others are in the feasibility study phase, such as England’s bid for the 2030 Men’s Football World Cup, the 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup and the 2031 Ryder Cup.
Although UK Sport cannot tell how many of these events will actually be received, it has stated that the UK bid success rate has been around 80% over the last four years, which would be equivalent to 78 of those 97 events if guaranteed offers. Were finally launched for everyone.
The biggest prize of all would surely be the Men’s Centennial Soccer World Cup in 2030.
FIFA is expected to outline the bidding process by the second quarter of next year, with its 2024 Congress deciding on the hosts.
The UK and Ireland are exploring the feasibility of a joint bid for these finals, but could face Spain and Portugal to become UEFA’s preferred candidates.
A South American bid was then expected, which would at least enjoy passionate support, given that Uruguay hosted the inaugural final in 1930.
UK Sport chief executive Simon Morton has said that football policy is part of the feasibility discussion, but believes there are many differences with the bid for the 2018 final compared to England’s failed attempt as a whole .
“FIFA has made significant and significant changes to the bidding process, it has become a lot more transparent,” he said.
“Some have said that [2018] Maybe the dialect was a little bit different – well, we’re talking about the dialect of the five countries, so the tone is completely different.
“It is pioneering, it is unprecedented in terms of what we are talking about. So I think these things give us assurance that 11 years after the last offering, things are likely to be different this time.”
The list also includes a feasibility study on organizing the Grand Tour of the future Tour de France, while other so-called “mega events” are classified as opportunities, including the World Athletics and Para Championships. Athletics, Men’s and Women’s Cricket World Cup, Men’s T20 Cricket World, European Championship and Davis Cup and Billy Jean King Cup Final.
