U.K. Sports suffer due to budget cuts for 2012

London 2012 OlympicsThis early on, some of U.K.'s favorite sports where they have a strong chance of winning have already seen a bleak future for the actual competition in London 2012. Due to failure in funding raising of the Organizing committee from the private sector, sports like Badminton, fencing, handball, shooting, volleyball/beach volleyball, water polo, weightlifting and wrestling have suffered budget cuts needed to sustain proper preparations for the Olympics in London 2012.

Serious budget cuts are detailed in this Table tennis webpage article I've read recently. Much of the sports mentioned suffered serious cuts more the half of the anticipated budget need. I small positive development, however, stipulates that the U.K. sports that will be hit by budget cuts will get a lump sum of the money upfront instead of staggered through the next few years running up to the 2012 London Olympics.
