Our investment into sports is made through four year awards which have a future focus, acknowledging the time it takes to develop sports and athletes. When our awards are made they are against specific investment streams designed to provide support to sports and athletes who meet the eligibility criteria. Direct athlete funding comes in the shape of an Athlete Performance Award (APA). This award, which is solely funded by National Lottery income, is paid directly to the athletes and contributes to their living and sporting costs. APAs are administered centrally by UK Sport and are aimed at enabling athletes to pursue medal success in the Olympic or Paralympic Games and in other major championship events.

Team GB's athletes are not directly paid for winning medals, unlike those in Australia, USA or Singapore, for example. Team GB do not hand out winnings to their athletes for winning medals and don't pay salaries. However, Daley, like 1,000 other elite athletes, has his training funded through UK Sport’s National Lottery-funded World Class Programme. Some national committees also pay their athletes, but Team GB is not one of those.
However, Daley has attained wealth from TV appearances, social media, books, and sponsorships. Becoming a household name has seen the star warrant a number of brand endorsements and sponsorships, which have boosted his net worth to a tidy £3.1million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Another medal would undoubtedly boost those counts, possibly providing greater ad revenue.

The British Olympic Association does not, instead funding indirectly. The IOC explains of the organisation’s stance that “It is up to each IF and NOC to determine how to best serve their athletes and the global development of their sport”.
