Boxing, gymnastics and cycling have seen some the biggest increases in funding from UK Sport for the Olympic 2016 funding programme.
Eighteen sports have seen their money go up but five have had their budget cut by UK Sport.
Basketball, table tennis and wrestling are some of the sports which have lost support.
Swimming has taken a big hit, losing £4 million from their budget. Boxing has seen an increase of 44%.
It's positive news for gymnastics which has received an extra £4 million.
Nineteen-year-old Alex Rothe from Llanelli went to the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi in 2010.
He said: "We've got more funding now which means we can get more equipment, compete in more competitions and travel more."
The teenager's training base is in Swansea and Chris Jones is the head boys' coach.
"I'm delighted that British gymnastics have got this funding and hopefully we'll see a part of that in Wales," he said.
"The funding can now inspire coaches, clubs and gymnasts."
UK Sport funds athletes at a higher level and those who are likely do well in international competitions. Support is mainly based on medal success.
£347 million has been made available over the next four years for the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
It's an increase of 11% compared to the London 2012 funding.
Paralympics support has gone up by 4% with increases for swimming, athletics and cycling.
