I don't think it is crazy to hope that Canada can do better than setting Canadian records and finishing 25th.

Personally if the option is to increase funding or continue these results I hope we slash funding immensely and only fund those sports/athletes that we are competitive in.

How is it that we can judge if our athletes are competitive when this is the case? You can't exactly slash funding any lower (it only recently even was raised to any level of respectability. Sad when we are ok with forking billions of tax dollars to gun registrations that don't work and have a problem with 1.20 a year per person for our athletes.
