UK Sport (who they?) have just announced that they (that probably means me and you) have invested (interesting turn of phrase) £6.5 million pounds in our Winter Olympic Team. That is spread across just seven sports (less than a million each then, poor souls)
Their goal is for 3 medals this year (that would be the best result for over 70 years.....)
And they seem to feel our best chance is the Women's Bobsleigh. I'm not quite sure if you've noticed a municipal bobsleigh run close to where you live, but I suspect they're aren't too many in the UK.
That means that the poor girls will have had to have travelled abroad to do most of their training then, (might not be too hard to guess where the bulk of the 'investment went...), particularly as one of our other 'best medal chances' is in Synchronised Housework, sorry Curling, and I can't see a dozen yard brooms costing too much.
Still, it's the taking part that matters, isn't it..........
