The following tables state our UK Sport funding awards to sports for the current Olympic and Paralympic cycles, for both the summer (Paris) and winter (Milan-Cortina) games.
For some sports the award amounts listed for the Paris cycle, may vary from any previously published figures due to underspend carried forward due to the postponement of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics. In addition in February 2023 we announced an uplift to Paris funding for 33 sports, and we have also made further Paris focused uplifts in 2024 during the final lead in to games.
The figures quoted below for each sport are exclusive of any Athlete Performance Awards (APAs), which is paid directly to the athletes and contributes to their living and sporting costs. In addition to the funding awards below for the Paris cycle an overall £70 million has been invested in APAs and for the Milan-Cortina cycle we will invest in the region of £5 million.
In December 2024 we announced our investment into the LA 2028 cycle for summer Olympic and Paralympic sports which will begin from April 2025.
