{Olympic Hand-wringing} ~ Demonstration sport
So, the Olympics come to an end.
The mad rush to the finish line for gold by athletes during the games is quickly followed by.....
the mad rush to the microphones by athletes [and agencies] for more gold in funding.
Amidst much hand-wringing over a meager medal haul [only in Canada you say? pity] the case is made while the spotlight is ever bright by athletes and agencies that performance is tied to funding and frequently Canadian athletes do more with less.
I opted to show a weightlifter who is forced to lift pennies.
see you in four years!
