The Chancellor Gordon Brown MP surprised sports administrators yesterday by not 
announcing any additional funding for the British Olympic team in his pre-budget
report.
The British Olympic Association had been hoping for investment to double
from its current £45 million a year in the run-up to London’s hosting of the 2012
Olympic Games.

UK Sport commented that it too was disappointed that the Chancellor had made no 
mention of additional funding.
