did you see that Horizon programme the other night?
the Aussie copied their techniques from the East Germans. They work out optimal physical characteristics for each sport, and then measure all schoolkids at a certain age (can't remember when). Kids who meet the optimum physical requirements are then offered places at the Australian elite sports academy, which is full of high tech training gizmos etc.
