The Olympic Review

Leapy Lee Mr Little Arrows

Make no mistake-Team GB has enjoyed a wonderful Olympic success. Leapy is the first to acknowledge this. However, Leapy has been misunderstood. As a fan of Athletics he was concerned that Britain had little chance of medals in a lot of the events. In the euphoria after the success of Mo Farah, Jessica Ennis and Greg Rutherford in the Long Jump there has been a number of events which have not seen success. Leapy hastens to add he didn't mean to generalise and he applauds the wonderful successes that have been achieved in so many disciplines.. There are areas where the Olympic Committees will be looking at their strategies but overall these wonderful athletes and competitors have put the GREAT back in GB. There is a valid point that money must be invested to back the efforts of all competitors. The success in Equestrianism, Rowing, Sailing, and Cycling comes at a price. There must be an investment strategy and this has been the case with GB. How can the same success be transferred to the Blue Ribbon event?
