Having read through this thread, which highlights the problems of who is selected, etc for the Olympics. Might I suggest in future it is done differently.
Instead of having professional athletes selected and hothoused and possibly drugged, into condition by their countries.
Each country submits to a random selection from all its citizens about a month before the Olympics. In this way the Olympics would be a fair reflection of the fitness levels of the citizens of each country, rather than just the money each country has to throw at a few physically abnormal individuals.
Australia's natural resources are hugely important to the world economically, on the other hand what are the british providing for the world other than failing and corrupt banks, and if you lived in britain you would know that the only people who work here now are the Poles. And the Dutch provide all our drugs.
