MPs warned over ‘shameful’ lack of funding for GB athletes at Deaflympics

British MPs have been criticized for the lack of funding for deaf athletes competing in the Deaflympics, highlighting a significant disparity in support for disabled athletes. Unlike their Olympic and Paralympic counterparts, deaf athletes receive no government funding, which many see as discriminatory. This situation is particularly concerning as UK Sport allocates substantial resources to other sports, raising questions about equity and inclusion in sports funding. The issue underscores the need for a more comprehensive approach to support all athletes, regardless of their disabilities.
