It just shows that there are a lot of olympic sports that are not THAT
hotly contested where a decent athlete put on a rigorous training
schedule and coached well can quite easily get the No 1 spot.

Cant produce a Usain Bolt tho.

Look at rowing. There is obviously an art to it - how hard to go and
when, - to get the best time, but its not that hard to master compared
with - say - sailing or shooting.

Next remember than about half the nations you will compete against have
little or no access to inland waterways at all and the rest will have
about as much access as a Jamaican attempting the ski jump.

Throw money at these sports.

Watch the golds roll in.

Its a masterful application of cost-benefit analysis to winning olympic

Well no, it's best to produce someone with a differnt name otherwise they'll get confused. But a a couple of years time perhaps even befpore the next Olympics another Usain Bolt type might appear, just like they did with Jim Hines in 1968 .

Although they do seem to claim a few who were not at the University when
they did the research that led to their Nobel Prizes. Maurice Wilkes for
one, who shared the prize with Crick and Watson was at Kings College
London at the time.

And you'll also need a coat of arms - a shield, grey, supported by a
