Following UK Sport's decision to cut funding for a number of sports in the build-up to the Rio Games, the 2012 Olympic legacy pledge has come under scrutiny.
Impact
Meanwhile, Tuesday's announcement also dealt a further blow to swimming. It returned just three medals at London 2012, resulting in a 15% cut from £25.1 million to £21.4 million.
Although there was an overall 43 per cent increase in funding for Paralympic sport, the brutal slashing continued.
Sitting volleyball and wheelchair fencing had their funding completely taken away.
Lisa Wainwright, Volleyball England's chief executive, was particularly up-front in her opinions on UK Sport's decision to drop the sport.
She said: "The investment requested from UK Sport was less than £500,000 per year per squad over the next four years.
"Everyone will have seen the impact sitting volleyball can have on people with the winner of the
BBC's Helen Rollason Award, Martine Wright, a survivor of the 7/7 London bombings.
"When we speak of legacy, remember this day. The flame has well and truly been extinguished."
