A FIELD of 90 athletes including Olympians and 25 newcomers were rewarded for their talent in Hobart yesterday when they received 2013 scholarships from the Tasmanian Institute of Sport.
TIS director Paul Austen said it was an exciting time for the institute because it was the start of the four-year Olympic cycle.
A total of 14 sports are backed by the institute, and scholarships went to 57 male athletes and 33 female athletes ranging from 14 to 31 years-of-age.
The TIS continued its support of athletes who have previously represented Australia at an Olympic and Paralympic Games: Scott Brennan, Todd Hodgetts, Matt Bugg, Amy Cure, Luke Jackson, Jackson Woods, Tristan Thomas, Matthew Goss, Adam Gibson, Tim Deavin and Eddie Ockenden.
Of the newcomers, some will go on to represent Australia at world championships and also the Olympic Games.
"The ones coming in are just starting that next phase and the next 12 months determines whether they are ones we would consider having the potential to go all the way," Austen said.
"We've got a group coming in that will be focused probably not on Rio but the Olympics after that.
"But you just never know who will pop up and advance more quickly.
"It's always exciting for the institute to start another four-year process and many of this intake is at the bottom of the cycle and it's exciting to see who we are going to work with and to see how their development pans out."
The 2012 dual world junior cycling track champion, Georgia Baker will again be a member of a strong cycling program.
The TIS has associate scholarships with professional Tasmanian athletes including Richie Porte (cycling), Matthew Goss (cycling), Wes Sulzberger (cycling), Will Clarke (cycling), Cameron Wurf (cycling), Adam Gibson (basketball), Hugh Greenwood (basketball), Ryan McCarthy (golf) and Kalem Richardson (golf).
