UK Sport’s talent ID programmes are now firmly established as a key part of British sporting success on the global stage. In the past, former hockey and athletics performer Helen Glover was identified by the Sporting Giants programme in 2007 and went on to win double Olympic Gold in rowing in London and Rio. Lutalo Muhammad graduated from the Fighting Chance programme in 2011 to win Olympic bronze in London and narrowly missed out on gold in the taekwondo in Rio.
Talent ID schemes continue to unearth talent across a range of sports with the potential to compete and win medals at major world sporting events. The Discover Your Gold programme has been developed as the biggest multi-sport talent ID campaign in British history. It aims to identify young athletes with the potential to become future champions on the world’s sporting stage. Over 20 sports are included in the scheme, which is a collaborative effort involving UK Sport, a range of national governing bodies and the English Institute of Sport.
