Following the announcement of Bill Sweeney as the new CEO of the BOA today, Liz Nicholl, CEO of UK Sport, said:“The appointment of Bill Sweeney as CEO of the British Olympic Association is good news indeed and I congratulate Bill on behalf of everyone at UK Sport.
"The BOA's unique and important role leading Team GB in the Olympic Games environment is key to realising the ambitions for our National Lottery funded sports and athletes to re-create those special moments that inspired the nation in London last year.
"I look forward to working with Bill to ensure the partnership between our organisations continues to go from strength to strength. Working together we can build a stronger, more sustainable high performance system to support our athletes on their journey to future Olympic success."
