I'd like to think that first thing Monday morning, all the leaders of governing
bodies of Olympic sports, together with the BOA thought 'How can we improve our
sports performances in Rio?'
Of course it's going to be tough. No home
advantage, continued recession in our country putting pressure on budgets for
fripperies like sport and the retirement of a (cliche time) 'Golden Generation'
of athletes but overcoming the insurmountable is one of the things sport should
be about.
One thing we have got going is the enthusiasm, interest and
(cliche time again) all round 'legacy' that these Games have left GB with. Ride
that wave UK Sport! Both in terms of getting athletes in at the base of your
sports pyramid and in securing sponsorship for your sport from companies keen to
ride the 'Success Express.'
