Just think, we could have like 12 rusty Tin medals right now - then I'd be all like, "Take that Uzbekistan!".

I find it funny that there is apparently enough funding to allow so many of our athletes to be "medal favourites", but just not enough to allow them to execute at the Olympics. Something doesn't add up...
