AUSTRALIA’S only hopes of an increase in Olympic funding before Tokyo 2020 lie in a national lottery scheme being aggressively pushed by the Australian Sports Commission.


ASC chairman John Wylie says with the Federal Government unwilling to spend more on sport, alternate revenue streams will need to be found.

Winning Edge distributed $134 million in the last financial year, but the national lottery scheme that has powered Great Britain’s success handed $476 million to Olympic sports.
