Olympic Team Canada Hurting

Hello. As usual, I've enjoyed watching the Olympics. The swimming and rowing in particular are favourites. And my son enjoyed the men's gymnastics, as he does gymnastics himself.
However, ever since the '84 Olympics in LA, when Canada set a record for most Summer Olympics medals ever, the Canadian Olympic story has been the same:
  1. We're told prior to the Games about all our world record holders and champions
  2. We go medalless for the first few days (5 and counting this time)
  3. We're told we need more funding
  4. We rally to get a few medals at the end
  5. We're told this will be a springboard for more medals next time
  6. We're encouraged to provide more funding

Team Canada is hurting, and not because of money.

Why? More tomorrow.

Regards,

Steve

I very much think team Canada is hurting because of money. When our Olympic boxing team consists of one person, that kind of tells you something about the state of sports in Canada.
