a number of these have been world medallists

They just don't do it at the Olympics.

i have seen judo players, and canoeists, and other sports players who are devastated to not get medals. swimmers just seem happy to be there.

Part of the reason our cyclists and rowers are dominant is that they are part of a program which does not accept failure.

it is ruthless and aggressive and all about success.
