Doctors in Australia have diagnosed a new condition which they are calling "Olympic finger". Symptoms are pain in the index finger caused by repeated scrolling down to see Australia's medal tally.

Spelling is important. Look! The difference between won and one:

Great Britain have just won gold.

Australia have just one gold

they we're mostly invented for gambling reasons and not becoming world beaters. Although our cricketers are currently ranked no1 in the world, but the south africans are ass raping us at the moment.

also within a more relative recent history chronic lack of underfunding has also played its part (until the national lottery was launched) which still only provide 220m for Olympic type sports. 

The FA have recently built a specialist football academy in burton on trent to improve the quality of our footballers.....only took them 150 years....

They set up a national lottery just to fund olympic sports? Why not improve the schools or something instead?

nah it was setup for the usual reasons, just one aspect of national lottery funding is diverted too sports.  Charitable causes benefit too.

93% of our medallists in Beijing came from private schools, thats where all the best resources are i.e. eton dorny where all the rowing has been taken part belongs to Eton http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eton_College.  The people in charge are not happy with that dirty little secret.

What dirty little secret? NBC says it belongs to Eton during every rowing broadcast. I think it's cool they built their own lakes.

edit - oh, that the medalists are all private school kids. Well, it's pretty much the same in every sport here. Only wealthier parents can afford to send their kids to soccer camp, or gymnastics camp or whatever because it's time and money expensive. Podunk public school in Iowa generally doesn't have an indoor Olympic sized swimming pool for kids to train in, ya know?

Why do trap shooters all use over-unders when they are just firing one shot per round?
