services director of the National sport Centre and Cal Botter sports psychologist at the University of asked canadians not to expect too Many medals from their olympic ath Botterill talked about personal bests and top 8 Pirnie discussed How a Lack of funding had helped produce Canadian ath letes who were still As dedicated and Tough As but lacked proper facilities to had to fight to pay for High level International Competition in Many didst even get professional the dire warnings presented by both Pirnie and Botterill have been manifested in what Canadian athletes themselves Are Call ing a disappointing first week Here in Syd Canada has one Gold Simon Whitfield in one Silver Nic Gill in judo and five Bronze medals Curtis Myden in swim Anne Montminy in the women eights in rowing and Karen cock Burn and Mathieu Turgeon in trampoline that weve had a few fourths and a Bunch of half a dozen personal bests and a dozen top for what its weve also been named nicest and Best recyclers by the other Canada won Only one medal at the one at rowing and our sprint Bruny Surin and Donovan both pulled up lame in the among our swimmer Joanne Malar was fifth and Mountain biker Allison Sydor who broke her Bike Chain and had to Stop to repair it was rower Derek Porter was our syn Chro Emilie Heymans and Eryn bul Mer were swimmer Morgan Knabe was cyclist Tanya Dubnikoff was seventh and eighth in two High jumper Mark Boswell was swimmer Michael Mintenko was fifth and pairs rowers Emma Robinson and Theresa Luke were no just no 0 Canada has been played Only once Here in Sydney and that was a bit by Acci Whitfield win in the triathlon was one of those great out nowhere stories that will Long be part of olympic if it we rent for inaugural sports like trampolining and Canada would have Only three medals after the first week of olympic in terms of Canada is a third world we have 30 million people and 311 athletes and were essentially tied in the medal race with the czech a nation of 10 million people with about 175 athletes at these suggestions that our athletes performance is embarrassing or disgrace Ful Are fact our athletes Are doing just about the Best they and they dont do better As we simply dont treat them very there was a huge cheer when the Feder Al government agreed to increase the fund ing of elite athletes from a month to a int that special now the Young people we expect to bring Home olympic medals earn almost As much As welfare Canadas olympians Here in Sydney have been hardworking and the athletes and their coaches do the Best they can with the hand Treyve been which is to not they Are a reflection of the canadians tend to ignore them for the four years heading up to the games and then expect them to produce a huge medal of most olympic sports have no natural constituency in Canada and no mat ter How hard the sports themselves or even those few sympathetic members of the Media there is no indication they can change that harsh people expect Gold medals from but they have to put the Money into it to get those olympic medallists and to keep us in the said who has taken a vicious beating in the Eastern Canadian a lot of us Are going to retire because another four years to get bad press when you come fifth in the world int Worth that a statement that has to concern the Canadian olympic we have so few competitive International elite athletes on the horizon that when people like dub Malar and Mari Anne Limpert retire which Treyve probably already done this week is no one coming up behind Ladonna who finished fifth in her 400metre semifinal yesterday and failed to said that if Canada remains steadfast and refuses to put Money into the development of athletes and pro Canadian track and Field is on the Slippery slope to i think the government is trying to make things said who left Regina to train in san but its still not like it is in other if we want to compete with other we need to do the same things those countries right we dont do i love my country and i love to run for my i just wonder sometimes if my country cares that much about saturday at the magnificent Sydney regatta Canadas National women rowing Al stated clearly Why Canada has fallen behind in so Many the Federal government started to Cut the Money after the 1988 Morrow Ive always believed it takes about 10 to 12 years to realize the benefits from a boost in it also takes that Long to see what a Cut will so Here we three games after the we had six rowing medals in Barcelona 1992 and five in Atlanta 1996 As a result of the solid funding we had in the 12 years after the Money was were going Home with Only one in not going to stand Here and Tell canadians they should give us More just Tell them you get what you pay Moule i 5070 off fashion
