Keely Hodgkinson has been granted top-level funding on the British Athletics World Class Programme but some big names have missed out.
Hodgkinson, 19, won 800m silver at the Tokyo Olympics where she smashed Dame Kelly Holmes’ 26-year-old British record by almost a second.
Funding has been cut for Mo Farah, CJ Ujah, Tom Bosworth and Andrew Butchart.
Four-time Olympic champion Farah, 38, missed out on the Games in Japan after failing to qualify for the 10,000m.
Ujah tested positive for banned substances after winning a silver medal in the 4x100m relay this summer, but has denied any wrongdoing and is awaiting a ruling from the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
His team-mates Reece Prescod and Zharnel Hughes have been downgraded to relay funding only.
Race walker Bosworth, who struggled with injury in 2021, expressed his disappointment, saying that the loss of “financial and medical support will be huge”.
The World Class Programme is split into tiers depending on an athlete’s ability and potential.
Dina Asher-Smith, Laura Muir, Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Adam Gemili are among the 17 athletes who will receive top-level funding.
Performance director Sara Symington said: “As we start the Paris cycle, and longer-term Los Angeles 2028, we made a number of informed decisions in regard to the World Class Programme membership that aligns with our strategic priorities.
“We will work closely with the 67 athlete and coach pairings that we are offering membership to and will look to add support and value in their journey via their individual athlete plan.”
