In fact, the kite surfer, who was videotaping his ride, jumped over the whale in what looks like a surprise encounter. He returned briefly to investigate before sailing ashore to alert authorities.

    “British Swimming is committed to implementing a streamlined Swimming World Class Programme with minimal impact on the Rio 2016 Olympic cycle following today’s UK Sport funding announcement.

    The sport of swimming has seen a reduction of around 15% from the £25m it received in the London 2012 Olympiad to a figure of £21.3m for the Rio 2016 cycle.

    David Sparkes, British Swimming CEO said: “Overall we are satisfied with the outcome. While disappointed with the award for swimming, we recognise we need to rebuild confidence that we can deliver medals at Olympic level consistently before we can demand more investment.”
