Olympic Team Canada Hurting II

Hello. Thanks to "Sean" for replying to yesterday's post. Sean says we are hurting for money, because we sent only one boxer to Beijing.
Well, Sean, I'd counter that argument by quoting tsn.ca, which says we sent 331 athletes this time, as opposed to 265 sent to Athens. That's a 24.9% increase! In theory, that should result in a similar medal increase. Since we are still medalless, I'd say it hasn't happened.
While we do have legit medal contenders (see Mike Brown, 0.09 seconds away), we have a lot who shouldn't be there. Boxing obviously is tougher to judge if someone's legit, but in timed events that are decided usually by fractions of a second, if someone is 5+ seconds behind, they're not legit.
I'd look at the system, which does produce world champs, but seems to falter at the Olympics. What is the problem? I believe there are non-financial problems which have to be solved first. Otherwise, you're throwing good money after bad, which many people attribute to other organizations, like governments.
Let's look at what we can control first.

Regards,
Steve
