#DiscoverYour Gold 2016
In the summer of 2016 UK Sport, the English Institute of Sport (EIS) and partnership National Governing Bodies (NGBs) launched the biggest multi-sport talent identification campaign in British history. Over 20 sports were involved in #DiscoverYour Gold and we received over 4000 applications. The aim of the programme was to identify talented young athletes with the potential to be fast-tracked into the exciting world of high performance sport and become future champions.
