I'm sure they know what they are getting into but then why are they complaining about it after the fact? You chose to go into this profession - deal with it.
If they are getting any funding they are accountable to the taxpayers - no matter how small the contribution.

If you're that bothered by the performance I'd say you should write the government and demand your loonie back then.
Some canadians need to ditch the logic that a lucky loonie is all the athletes need to compete with the worlds best. Its much like everything else in the world in the sense that you get what you put into it. With Canada we put in the minimum for a country our size and we are seeing the results.
For myself, I'm impressed that this group of athletes is actually making finals and producing top 20 finishes in many events where they have never been close in past years.
