Overall, 18 sports have seen their money go up, while five have had their budget cut by UK Sport.

A record £347m will be made available for the four-year cycle to Rio, an 11% increase on the London 2012 funding.

The Paralympic portion of the overall funds has risen from 16% of the total budget to 20%, with swimming, athletics and cycling all being rewarded for their success with big rises but archery and powerlifting cut.

The investment will be used to support Britain's elite Olympic and Paralympic athletes and comes after Sport England revealed an increase to grassroots sports funding on Monday.

UK Sport said the distribution of money was based on whether sports met their medal target in London.

Britain's boxers won five medals from a 10-person team in London to meet their target, with Nicola Adams, Luke Campbell and Anthony Joshua all winning gold, and their funding rises from £9.5m to £13.8m.

Contrastingly, swimming missed their target of five to seven medals, winning just three, and have seen their funding reduced to £21.4m - a cut of 14.9%.

Archery, badminton and volleyball have also had their funding cut, after missing their targets, along with judo - despite the latter beating their medal target.

Another big 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.

Volleyball's budget has dropped from £3.5m to £400,000 with only women's beach volleyball benefiting.

Rowing retains its place as the best-funded British sport, up over £5m to £32.6m - an increase of 19.47%.

Britain's rowers won nine medals at Dorney Lake to exceed their target by three.

Athletics see their funding rise by £1.6m after winning six medals in London, while cycling has seen an increase of £4.6m after bringing back 12 medals.

Britain's sailors, who won five medals after being set a target of three to five, have been boosted by an extra £1.5m.

Equestrian, who won five medals including three golds, have received a £4.5m boost.

UK Sport's target is for Britain to win more medals in Rio than in London, where the teams won 65 medals at the Olympics and 120 in the Paralympics.

UK Sport chief executive Liz Nicholl said: "We want to be the first nation in recent history to be more successful in the Olympics and Paralympics post-hosting.

"Today will be good news for some and it will be painful for others who haven't met the criteria.

"They are very disappointed but I think some of these sports have to improve their base, their competition structure, and drive up competition before they can really compete for medals at a world level.

"We have been guided by our no-compromise approach.

"I hope the sports that have been hit today will go to sports like hockey and gymnastics and talk to them about how they have got back to where they are today.

"Hockey had their funding cut [in the past], they went bust, they were in dire straits and they have done amazingly well to recover."
