Well it's now obvious what we need to do, if we want to win more gold at the Olympics.

Fill all those sports grounds & ovals with water. Stop wasting money on track & field, & put a bit into sailing, canoeing & rowing.

Interesting that these almost invisible, & very lightly funded, sports are bringing home the medals.

Actually it is the lack of funding, & government input that is probably the reason for their success. Our high point in track & field, in swimming, & even in tennis, was in the days of amateur sport, rather than the professional athletics of today.

Great to see a few medals coming out of left field, rather than the big ticket sports.

Well we did ok.
We may or may not need more sport in schools ,but have we the right to impose it.
We may or may not need more funds.
Only two offend me, a swimmer who fought,some times king hitting, to get there but may or may not have given his best.
And a runner who,it seems has caught the Anthony Mundene loose lip thing.
Saying he did his best in a team event, but maybe his team mates did not!
We, the us, that claims to have won?
Maybe we needed the wake up call.
I am with those exclusions, proud of every single one of them.
This thread, any subject in truth, could have been TAINTED by links to twisted truths, unsports man like or just bigoted media posts.
Maybe that needs confronting more than our sports men and women.
