Who else has a sporting past?
I was a sprinter and long jumper and played field hockey.

Nah but it does kinda indicate what a huge gamble an athletics career is. You can hold national records and still need to work part time in bargain books to get by. If you were to win, the UKA would be hoisting you up as a poster boy. The 43m on the opening ceremony was probably enough to secure us at least another two or three golds.
As much as I like the London Olympics the legacy should have been put in place before we bid for the Olympics. The plastic brit stuff really really doesn't sit right with me.

It's a bit of a lottery (literally) who gets the funding for their individual sport.
Are you paying attention over there Diva?
When you see the way Kelly Southerton was cast adrift in terms of funding it is a disgrace.
I went to see the torch, but before it arrived was subjected to 20mins of Samsung, Mcdonalds and Coca-cola handing out full fat Coke to kids. Yet the torch carriers had to pay £200 if they wanted to keep their torch. Disgrace.

It's not right though
How many countries in the future will be able to afford to hold the Games?
Its all about the money
Madrid are bidding for the next one and Spain is broke!!
Diva, I thought you were going to steal their milestone? I claimed it on your behalf.
Not even looking at them Kitty!!
