[Money does not buy success.] Yes, it does…..it just doesn’t guarantee success!

Well, we seem to agree on that point. 🙂

And you are absolutely right about those having the support of their families, but not just financial support, having a much greater chance of success. So what should be done about it?

To me, it seems that the funding through Sport UK is exactly the right thing to do; and it seems to be working. Look where Team GB came in the medals table, look who we beat, France, Germany, Australia, Russia…..Russia!!!

But as ever in the UK we have those who somehow manage to find a cloud for every silver-lining…

…if there was a Olympic gold-medal for ‘putting-ourselves-down’ Team GB would win every time! 😀 (Without any extra funding!)
