UK Sport decisions on funding for Paris 2024 signal a move towards greater diversity and winning the right way , says chair Dame Katherine Grainger.
British sports will receive £352m for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris, split across 43 sports.
New additions like surfing and skateboarding have been funded while some traditional sports have seen their budgets reduced. It is a really important and exciting moment, Grainger told BBC Sport.

UK Sport has announced an overall increase in funding for Olympic and Paralympic athletes but some of Britain’s most successful sports are set to lose millions of pounds.
Swimming, rowing and canoeing are among those taking a hit but more sports than ever will be supported.
There will also be a cultural shift to how medals are won following a number of welfare scandals - including one involving British Gymnastics which ITV News exposed earlier this year.
Dame Katherine Grainger, the chair of UK Sport, said: We’ve made a very clear statement today that how we win things is as important as what we win.
