The Australian sporting community is at war. A report funded by Kevin Rudd's Government has suggested that future funding for sport in Australia should focus more on sports that have a higher participation rate and not continue to provide additional money to Olympic sports just so
we can stay in the top five ranked countries on the medal tally.
The news coverage said it all. An Olympian was giving up his bronze medal due to disagreement with a refereeing decision. Today was the day I realised that when it comes to sport, we have totally missed the point!!
