UK Sport announce grant plans until Rio

Funding by sport figures about to be published but of course no orienteering as it's not on the Olympic programme.

Some hard decisions made there.

Lots of increased funding for elite technological sports such as sailing and cycling.

Disappointing that basketball isn''t funded.

This amazed me.

Another large winner was water polo - despite not winning any medals at London 2012. Funding is up from £2.93m for the men's and women's team to £4.5m solely for the women's.

Handball, basketball and table tennis get nothing!
