Political correctness: a doctrine which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd from the clean end.

Imagine what could happen if the sponsors dropped thugby and supported some of the olympic athletes instead?
Definately a win-win in my book...

Tables like that ought to (I think) include GDP as part of the weighting mix.Looks like NZ...
(In essence, cool when someone from a country without expensive training facilities and specialist coaches and all that has a person who just happens to be a very fast/strong/skilled/... person.)
((And, I think N.Z. would still come out well in such a table.))
Edit:
Oh, he's got them...

Well, the antics were those of a 2yo anyway. Anyone else see the tantrum thrown by the hurdler (women's) who tripped and then threw herself on the ground and screamed and kicked about it afterwards? Entertaining (and somewhat embarrassing to see). Just like my grand-daughter (two and a half years old).
