I enjoy watching it but as a hard working guy which I've always been.

Dedication is what you need to achieve the say. My thoughts are how many medal winners are silver spooned you won't see many ordinary up there. Has to be a hard life for them.

Question is what would you excel in given the chance and if we had a sex Olympics what would you be a gold medal winner at

To be honest, most of them aren't silver spooned. It's funding from the national lottery and the backing of their families along with their ultimate dedication to their sport and their drive that turns them into such magnificent sportsmen and women

What I'm trying to say is. Opportunities are limited. Is the kid that scuffed about with holey jeans and trainers at a young age but parents can't afford to subsidise a talent he may have. No so ordinary people don't get the chance. I would have loved to have excelled at what I was good at sport wise but unfortunately I had to earn a living. It's a lordies hooray so it is the Olympics.

If you are determined to see a silver spoon you will always see it. Most of team gb are funded to train and be good at their chosen event so in a sense of the word yes they work seven days a week for yrs to get where they are I wish I had the drive of our olympiads

yes agreed but they are only initially put on the map by parents who can support it. You won't see any on there scrimp and scrape in life. What a hardship in life they have. Do you think Murray would have got where he is if his mum had to stop paying for his training to put food in the cupboards. Irrelevant if he showed a talent for tennis at an early age he would now be serving you your burger in mcds

I just dont buy the downtrodden working family thing. Im sure you know folk who came from poverty to riches im not saying its easy but if energy is spent mumping and moaning its time that could be spent applying yourself to what you want. The main diffrence between a ned and a olympiad is application nothing else. Eddie the eagle we all take the mick but he qualifiedthrough home made exercises and jumping of bins no silver spoon evident there

Right then, what's your answer to the problem? Give funding to every kid who shows a half decent touch at some sport or other? There are numerous reasons why there are only a handful of elite athletes and funding and your life situation are only two of them.

Because of sheer volume of participants they don't get 'picked up' until they reach a certain level and get noticed by the various governing bodies / teams and to do that they have to do whatever it takes to get there. Yeah, that sometimes means holding down a full time job and doing nothing else but training in their spare time. Ive read about athletes who have changed jobs for less money to be able to give them more time to train. There's dedication and then there's another level completely of people who will do whatever it takes to succeed, they'll change their lives, they'll move house, hey'll get a different job if it means they can follow their dream. Look at the likes of Graeme Obree, the man made his own bike from spare parts of washing machines because he believed he could do it better and never gave up.

and what did he become famous for. For being an ordinary guy who made it to the Olympics. Did he win ??? No that's why ordinary working people took him to their hearts a tryer and I have nothing guy. He will be forever remembered before a lot. Can you remember all the winners from the last Olympics. You remember eddy the Eagle

He became famous because it was an event that gb had not even qualified for since the early days and the manner he did was extraordinary. That dosnt take anything away from reg folk who are olympiads and not lords or ladys of the manor tom daley fever gripped us at the last games a reg guy from middle england who strived to become what he now is

You keep mentioning Tom daley out of how many gb athletes. Mention more to the ratio of people like him. Is that about 5 percent who get the opportunity like him. I'm sure if we all had the chance in life we would spend it doing something we enjoy. Most are backed firstly through parents who have money to waste on their kid that they want to see up there to make them proud parents. Hey if someone supported me for 4 years to shoot a bullet at a target to bloody right I would hit it.

Things have changed with lottery funding you can be skint and be an Olympian and win medals. I personally know people who have. But there's still a lot of silver spoon sports they involve guns and horses. The military skills sports. I feel lottery funding should be means tested. If you are in a terrace house in Blackburn and are a swimmer looking to get gold you should get £22,000 a year. If you are called Tarquin and your mum and dad are a Lord and lady and you do 3 day eventing you should not get a penny.

This is lottery funded. It's not "public" money.

I would be an Olympic anal trainer.

Not necessarily. You would have to have the talent. I feel you do not have the talent or temperament to deliver medals.

Does it really matter whether they speak politely or not, whether brought up in hardship or luxury.

They are there competing for our country, why can't we just revel in the achievements

My Dad was a national coach for athletics in Scotland. Paid for his own coaching qualification and trained athletes who were from all walks of life. Unfortunately he passed away before seeing some of his athletes at the commonwealth games 10 years ago. His legacy is now that some of those athletes are now coaches.

Anyway my Olympic sport would be marathon kissing!
