Australia's funding of amateur sports beats Canada's by almost 5 to 1.
We could be doing equally as well as Australia if only we had the damn cash to build adequate facilities to support our athletes.

And if you did that the rest of your cultural activities would be just as fucked as Australias
All the money goes on sport and not much else
sport, sport, sport!

Aye, I do live here but only have for two years. . .I am a Yankee!
You really wanna move back here?
I loved watching swimming today but volleyball couldn't keep my attention.

Winter sports are slightly better - but not by much. At the 2002 Salt Lake City games, we got 6 gold, 3 silver, 8 bronze for 17 medals total.
