Developing track cyclists left without pathway as NSWIS scratches program

Nov 26, 2024

The New South Wales Institute of Sport has long supported young track cyclists, in their quest to the top.

But this week the organisation has scrapped its cycling program – leaving club athletes without a clear pathway to national opportunities.

The NSW Institute of Sport responded to this story with the following statement:

“The New South Wales Institute of Sport (NSWIS) supports over 400 athletes from Olympic and Paralympic sports across 15 sport programs and an Individual Athlete Program. 

At the end of each four-year cycle, a cycle being in-line with the Olympic and Paralympic Games, NSWIS works with National Sporting Organisations (NSOs) to determine which sports the Institute will partner with for the new cycle. 

“This has been the situation since NSWIS commenced operations in 1996.”
