As always, there are winners and losers in High Performance Sport’s latest funding round.
In the lead up to the LA Olympics in 2028, the organisation has allocated $163 million to 36 different sports.
Rowing, yachting, athletics, cycling, and canoeing all got a funding boost, while sports like hockey, equestrian, and men’s sevens are worse off.
Director Steve Tew says past performance was key when making the decision.
He told Heather du Plessis-Allan they really need to hone in on the sports, athletes, and teams that are tracking towards a top eight or podium in LA.
