U.K. Sports Bodies Say Business As Usual After Failed Scottish Independence Vote

UK Sport and the British Olympic Association "have declared business as usual after the Scottish electorate rejected independence in Thursday's referendum," according to the PA. UK Sport Chair Rod Carr said, "Britain's elite sport system has proven to be up there with the best in the world with our athletes' performances in Beijing, London and Sochi. This decision means UK Sport can continue with its plans and preparations for Rio 2016 and beyond." The BOA stated that "it would press ahead with preparations for major events as planned." A spokesperson said, " We are looking forward to continuing our detailed planning for Team GB as we prepare for the forthcoming Olympic Youth Festival early next year, the Baku 2015 European Games and of course Rio 2016" (PA, 9/19).
