Monday 13 February 2023 - UK Sport confirmed an additional £4m of funding into summer Olympic and Paralympic sport as preparations gear up for the Paris 2024 Games.
The increased investment across 33 sports will support athletes in their preparations for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, including allowing athletes to attend extra competitions that have been added to the international calendar and are essential to qualification for the Paris Games, in addition to training camps.
Following last year’s significant uplifts of £11.2m of additional investment in summer sports on top of the original Paris cycle awards the latest round of investments prioritised support on activities and requirements that will have a direct impact on Paris 2024 qualification.
The British Volleyball Federation are delighted to receive an uplift of investment for the two men’s beach pairs of £26,000 to cover a specific coaching project outlined to enhance and assist in the qualification aspirations of the two men’s pairs for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Performance manager Joanna Cook says, “This is a significant, and much appreciated uplift for the men’s pairs allowing their coaches to travel with them to international competitions. It is thanks to UK Sport and the National Lottery that this focused effort on our athletes’ aspirations will be strengthened.”
