First nom.
Despite millions of pounds from the national lottery being pumped into the system to supposedly create opportunities for all to achieve and live their sporting dreams one thing never seems to change and that is if the event requires more than a pair of trainers, boxing gloves or a swimming costume the names of the participants reveals that fuck all has changed over the last 25 years of spunking cash into the system.
A quick glance at our medallists reveals that Yasmin and Scarlett did quite well at diving, Rosalind, Laura, Charlotte, and Becky stood on the podium for riding horses and Lola, Georgina, Lauren, Hannah,Emily and Imogen are decent rowers. i could go on but you get the picture, link here
The men are slightly harder to spot but there’s Ethan, Jake, Toby, Hamish and Oliver to be relied upon when the chips are going South.
Now, when most people think of the Olympics they think of athletics in a stadium packed with people running, jumping and throwing, and for good reason because that’s what people want to see, requires physical exertion and everyone did it at school so we have a point of reference. Everyone has a chance and if you’re talented you will get noticed and be picked for the school team, then county and national events for the very best out there.
That’s why working class scrappers like Steve Ovett, Steve Cram, Linford Christie, Sharron Davies, Duncan Goodhew, Audley Harrison,Fatima Whitbread and Kris Akabusi to name but a few could make it to the top from humble backgrounds because it cost fuck all to get started, Our only gold medal in track and field in Paris came from a lass called Keely from Wigan.
Anything involving animals or equipment means most oiks are fucked immediately. Imagine the blank faces of staff at the local council run pool when Leanne or Conner rock up say they quite fancy a shot at synchronised swimming or springboard diving. The inflatables are out at 3pm though so that’ll do.
Fair play to all those that won medals but being the best of the moneyed elite in dressage doesn’t compare to the track where a peasant from Ethiopia can become a legend. Never mind, keep playing the fucking lottery, What a cunt.
