UK Sport has denied putting UK Athletics on the “naughty step” after slashing its funding for the Los Angeles Olympic cycle by nearly £1.75m. The shock decision comes despite Team GB’s track and field stars winning 10 medals in Paris – their best performance since 1984.
Athletics insiders were still stunned to see its share of lottery and exchequer money cut from £22.18m between 2020-2024 to £20.45m for 2025-2029 – a fall of 8% – with fears that it will impact on training camps and funding for coaches.
