For all those people who like to critisize Team GB


Recommended Posts

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

 

"Theodore Roosevelt"

Nice poem but the end of the day team gb is crap be glad when it's all over a waste of money in my opinion. The 25 million just for the opening ceremony could been spent on much more useful things.

 

.....such as the correct, though more expensive, drugs for cancer etc treatment. A more streamlined and efficient NHS, better teachers in schools, etc etc etc....

You are talking about something else. The opening ceromony is nothing to do with team GB, they are just another team in the world who attend it.

 

As to the money for team GB being spent on something better, that is nonsence. Team GB is funded by the sale of the Olympic ring logo in advertising/marketing etc. It isnt funded by the government or even the lottery.

 

Somebody coming forth and not getting a medal at the olympics, actually means that they are the fourth best athlete in the world, in their sport at that time!! Quite an acheivement I think!

the olympic games is a world tradition and a celebration to the dedication of the athletes that compete, most of whom have dedicated their entire life to attending these games. the dissapointment of not getting a medal is all to clear on their faces if they dont achieve. the standard required to get a medal is increasing every games, just to get a place in the team is a testiment to their dedication. i for one support them all the way medals or no medals, i even watched the 3 day eventing :icon_eek:
