All sports will have had some disappointments, in equestrian's case it is missing out on support for its other disciplines. It didn't quite get all it had asked for, but no one did, and you won't hear any complaints.
So too Hockey New Zealand, where chief executive Hilary Poole remembered back to 2009 when women's hockey got nothing and the men $700,000.
"It's been hard earned and we know we've still got a lot of work to do, but we're really pleased they [HPSNZ] have confidence in the progress we've made and belief in us through to Rio," she said.
A disappointment? The inability for HPSNZ to invest in talent development. "That's not just hockey, it's across the board. The pie is not big enough."
Canoeing have plenty to smile about, up $1 million in both actual and forecasted support from the last four years. Central to its plans is creating a high-performance coaching team to work with coach Gordon Walker.
"HPSNZ's confidence in the sport's ability to deliver on the water ... underpins an exciting opportunity for canoe racing to build a programme that will position the sport to deliver sustainable medal-producing performances for New Zealand in future Olympic Games," it said.
