There have been some scathing reports in the papers of late relating to our Australian Athletics Team and the fact that they will fail to deliver at the Athens Olympics. Labeling them as prima donna's and the like.
Often with sport we believe what we only want to believe, hiding the true facts. Track and Field attracts competitors from over 200 countries. A number of our other high profile Australian teams compete on the WORLD stage against what is often a half a dozen countries. We love them because they do so well on the WORLD stage. When you place third in a competition against six other countries, does it mean that you placed third best in the WORLD or placed third last in the WORLD?
