Sports, climate change and China: What you should know about the Paris Olympics 2024

Which sporting event is the most popular at the Paris Olympics 2024?

Two-thirds of Brits back government funding being used to propel Team GB athletes to gold medals at Paris 2024.

Exclusive polling shared with City A.M. shows that 67 per cent of Brits support continued state funding for athletes.

That’s lower than the likes of Indonesia (91 per cent), Ireland (75 per cent) and Australia (71 per cent) but tops nations including the United States (60 per cent) and host nation France (48 per cent), who rank lowest out of the 33 nationalities and over 24,000 individuals asked in the Ipsos Global Advisor Survey for 2024.

It comes as the new Labour government weighs up the extent to which it is prepared to back elite British sportspeople with the public purse.
