为避免在伦敦奥运上表现不佳的痛苦,英国于2006年同意为“英国体育”提供额外的资助。“英国体育”为团队和个人在伦敦奥运周期(2009-2013)发放的资金已接近3.12亿英镑(约合4.88亿美元),高于北京奥运周期(2005-2009)的约2.65亿英镑。美国奥运代表团没有类似的政府资金,其资金主要通过私人捐赠筹集。
U.K. Sport has used the extra money to support athletes as far as eight years in advance of Olympic qualification. Keri-Anne Payne, the 24-year-old British gold medal favorite in long-distance swimming, was first spotted by British coaches in South Africa at age 8.
早在伦敦获得奥运会主办权前八年开始,“英国体育”就开始用这笔额外资金支持运动员。当时,时年八岁、现年24岁的最有望夺得金牌的英国长距离游泳运动员佩恩(Keri-Anne Payne)被英国教练在南非发现。
U.K. Sport operates via a shrewd method that includes strict performance targets for the athletes, the teams and the agency itself.
“英国体育”通过一种精明务实的方式运营,包括对运动员、团队及机构本身设置严格的成绩目标。
The agency ranks British athletes across all sports on the basis of their chance of winning an Olympic medal, slating athletes with multiple-medal winning potential at the top. The ranking, reviewed annually, determines how much individual funding each athlete gets. The higher the ranking, the more money.
