I think for some sports, where there can be mass participation, there might be a resurgence of more young people in Canada taking it up again......perhaps figure skating etc
The last 15 to 20 years, Phys Ed etc has almost vanished from a lot of North American schools and now the results of this (out of shape young kids) are starting to show. I think parents now are encouraging their children to be more physically active.
Plus, factor in all the video games, etc. We have raised a generation of couch potatoes.
And, how do you promote some sports, like luge, skeleton, ski jumping? when in all reality there simply is not a training facility available to the mass of Canadians. I sometimes question why they are Olympic sports.
