According to the athlete attendance numbers at the Vancouver Olympics, there are 500 more male athletes. That means there is much more competition for medals in mens events. You add in the fact that most European nations spend alot more money on their male athletes and that makes it much tougher for Canadian male athletes. While I want Canadian female athletes to continue having funding equality, it might be the time for the COC to realize that male athletes need even more money to reach the podium.
