Dame Kelly Holmes is on the Island to launch the Isle of Man Sporting Excellence Programme over the weekend.
The scheme will support over 50 athletes and 30 coaches to try and reach the top of their sport.
The partnership brings together Kelly Holmes Education, the Island's Commonwealth Games Association, Isle of Man Sport and the Coaches Association.
Dame Kelly has visited these shores a number of times over the past few years, including the Commonwealth Youth Games last September.
She says bringing her programme here was down to a number of factors:-
Football: Castletown win on storm disrupted Saturday
Boxing: Jade Burden loses to Shauna Browne
Senior players to feature in cup as injuries hit squad says Ravens boss
Boxing: Burden 'really desperate' to bring home titles
