    Little tiny country.

    Only spends money on oval ball sports.

    Why are you surprised or disappointed?
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Dont worry.
    We only medal in rowing/sailing at the moment.
    With the very occassional one somewhere else.

    Eg, Queen B, Valeri Vili, Nick Willis, Bevan Docherty. (this year those are our outsiders i reckon)

    Previous years - Carter, Ulmer etc

    But traditionally it is the second half of the olympics we pick up the odd medal.

    First medals are Shooting, Gym and swimming - and we are NOT strong there.

    so wait and we should get a few, a couple might be gold if we are lucky.

    You will find that the SPARC contribution to oval ball sports is a lot less than other sports. Rowers/sailors/equestrian etc etc are reasonably well funded and have been training/competing overseas regularly.

    It is disappointing when athletes have time to prepare and peak and then perform below thir best.

    Thumbs up to Burmeister for the guts to take on the big guns and give it a go!!!

    As it should be.
    Thugby is a professional sport and should be funded from its sponsors.

    Oval ball sports are professional enterprises and there is NO comparison in the amount of revenue handled by the NZRU and SPARC. SPARC doesn't even come vaguely close to covering living expenses for our athletes. Compared to any other "Western" country our lot are resolutely amateur in comparison, and most of them have lives and jobs to hold down.

    A large number of our premier athletes appear to have been a little bit stupid in the days leading up to their events and have developed "stomach upsets". Bring food from home. Eat only the stuff you prepare for yourself.

    Yea I see the televised fire work display was a fake the singer was a fake. Now you know why so many fakes come out of China. It starts from the top down that sets the standard everywhere.
