    Well I'm not being funny but I would imagine getting your child in a good sporting team or any spotting team at a very young age would give them a better chance of a good education.
    Surely it's not a massive stretch to see that the US colligate system would make more team appear as more parents see sport as a way to get their child ahead.

    It's clear we won't agree so shall we agree to disagree?

    Love it - the Men's Team Sprint final is now an all British affair, so we have a Gold and a Silver already!

    Just a matter of who gets what. Nice one Kenny and Skinner.

    I do wonder how much difference team sky has made to British cycling. They have pretty much bankrolled most of team GB (Well most of them).

    It started a long time before Sky got involved.
    The difference is the National lottery and sport England funding

    We're sat discussing that... when they put the lottery ticket price up how many people stopped playing it and what effect has that had on available funds for sport..?

    Same with the rowing. One of the rowers brought up the Lottery funding in a post race interview.
