UK Sport said it will invest 330 million pounds ($418 million) in Olympic and Paralympic sports for the 2028 Los Angeles Games, though athletics and canoeing will see their funding cut.
UK Sport to invest £330m ahead of 2028 Olympics Athletics is among the sports to see their funding cut for the Games in Los Angeles.
“UK Athletics will receive in excess of 30 million pounds for the Olympic and Paralympic programmes and we believe that’s going to put them in a great place to support their athletes in the lead into LA.”.
Britain finished seventh in the athletics medal table at the Paris Games with 10 medals, with Keely Hodgkinson winning their only gold in the 800 metres.
“The decision that we’ve made against all the sports is we’ve looked at their potential,” UK Sport chief executive Sally Munday told the BBC in an interview published on Monday.
