It seems that there is a lot of funding from the lottery that enables the team to have the best of everything.
So many nations are underfunded when compared with our team.

Aussies , the French and some others have questioned our success.
It appears that at this Olympics they are under performing which widens the gap between them and us.

How come there was not such a high level of success just a few weeks ago at the world championships?
The answer to some extent appears to be that the lottery funding spurs the team to get Olympic
medals to keep the funds rolling in. World titles are nice but pay no bills.
They concentrate on the Olympics and attention to details e. g. Not 3 in 1 oil on the chain but the latest "specialised" lubricant.
