Quote: Anakin Skywalker "So Lord Coe has been put in charge of sport with regard to the post Olympics legacy.
That is a damn good call IMHO as is a confirmation that the lottery funding will stay at current levels right up until Rio 2016 which is 2 more years than previously promised.
I am/was worried that the momentum leading up too and including London 2012 would be lost just as it was for the Aussies after Sydney which would be a travasty.
My opinion is that having more kids in sport help with the nations health long term, helps with giving them an aim instead of getting into trouble.
Plus more bodies taking part leads to a better chance of you finding a champion and watching winners helps with the nations morale.'"
Good post.
My worry is that we'll hear all sorts of bandwagon bleating from Cameron et al, promising/saying we need more competitive sports and better facilities etc etc. yet at the end of it all, when everything has cooled off and the games are just a memory, Cameron will still be looking after himself and his cronies and the super-rich. It really makes me sick.
