Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the performance pathways for all British Olympic and Paralympic sports are fully funded to deliver UK Sport’s projection that Team GB will win more Olympic and Paralympic medals at Rio 2016 than at London 2012; and what is that projection on a sport by sport basis.

UK Sport believe their ambition is attainable for Team GB to win more Olympic and Paralympic medals at Rio 2016 than at London 2012. Sports have identified athletes with the capability to win medals and UK Sport is providing the necessary financial and technical support.

UK Sport publishes annual Milestone Targets for each funded sport and will publish Olympic/Paralympic medal targets prior to the Games in Rio.
