Snooty, throwing money at things is never the answer. Rowing has had huge funding over the years and we're getting worse. Gold and Silver in the BMX races overnight and they got very little in comparison, in fact Beth Schriever had to have private funding to get the experience and results to make the Olympic programme. Another athlete might have given up and be lost to the nation.
