Exactly. So why send them over at such a high cost? They're never going to win. We should be spending more money on training them to send them to the World Champs (so they know if they're good enough to send to the Olympics). I don't want to sound like I'm down on them but I just think that we put far too much focus (and cost) on the Olympics for such a small country.
