[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So much dis-information here. If you fools had to live on the budgets of most US athletes, you would starve to death. Don't mistake a few stars for the majority of the pack. And, don't forget the winter Olympics. The US never has the most medals in that.[/quote] Pp here. I didn't mean that the athletes have money. But they do have access to facilities and coaches etc. and those gymnastics classes for little girls are expensive. Someone has to drive to those classes and go to meets etc. it's not that athletes are living like kings. They are working very hard yes, but with far better equipment and support than other countries for the most part. [/quote] I think, too that perhaps there is more dedication, or there "can be". Not on a personal level but the ability to attend the practices, the therapy sessions etc. Parents who can be available to drive the kids and make it a priority.[/quote]
