Attitude and spirit are vital at Olympian level. I watched a lot of the women's synchronised diving last night. The Chinese slim and fit looking as well as highly competent. The same was true of the French and the Russians and several more.
Then the podgy British girls turned up: they looked flabby and their performances were flabby. Were they there for the laugh or what?
Praise the two British gold medallists so far.
Then there's that 14 year British diver. In an interview yesterday he looked happy and glibly said he didn't expect to win anything and was told to enjoy himself.
Look at the high achieving nations: they don't send flabby people and they don't send people who believe they won't win. Why do we send second raters and no hopers?
