Steve Cram to step down as EIS chair
Steve Cram is to step down as from his role of chair of the English Institute of Sport (EIS) after more than 10 years.
UK Sport will lead the process to recruit a new Chair and expect to make an appointment in the Autumn when Cram will handover to his replacement.
Cram, a former Olympic silver medalist, said: "After the superb achievements of London 2012, the high performance system is going through a period of evolution to help ensure that Great Britain can maintain its success and I think that now is the right time to move-on and pass-the-baton to someone else to guide the EIS in the next stage of its development."
EIS provides sport science and sport medicine to more than 30 Olympic and Paralympic sports.
It currently has more than 200 practitioners delivering an average of 4,000 hours a week of sport science and medical support to athletes and worked with 86 per cent of those that won a medal for Team GB at the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
