Snowsport GB, the governing body for ski and snowboard sport in the UK, has been placed into administration.
However, the British Olympic Association (BOA) announced last month that the 14 skiers and snowboarders will be able to compete at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics next week as they have a contingency plan in place.
The International Ski Federation (FIS) has endorsed the BOA’s move to mobilise a current dormant subsidiary company ‘Team GB Ltd’ to act as the National Governing Body for Ski and Snowboarding.
Team GB Ltd will now trade under the name of BSS (British Ski and Snowboarding) and will ensure that FIS registration and FIS race entries continue for all accredited athletes.
