The least the decision makers can do for them is to recognise that we need to give them a lot more support and get athletes the help they need so they can help us win.
The last time we were ranked 20th was at the 1994 Asian Games in Hiroshima.
Athletes and their families sacrifice their lives to represent the country at a major stage.
The number of total medals won has also dipped tremendously.
The stats can’t lie.
Similarly, Singapore returned with 0 medals from the Tokyo Olympics, for the first time since the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
The athletes aren’t to blame, but it’s the system behind them.
And in this case, what’s obviously lacking.
But ignoring the statistics over the last 10 years which show a clear downward trend would also mean that they are blind to what’s blatantly obvious.
This isn’t noise.
These are inescapable facts, and finishing fourth in 10 events, as an example, can also mean the people tasked to lead may lack the necessary know how to take athletes to the finish line.
The decision makers should be judged by how well, and by how poorly we do at such major Games.
That’s a barometer of success, and of failure.
The people in charge would not admit it but we are facing a period of decline in sports.
I prefer if they change this to Lingerie Football League EVERY MATCH ALL TICKETS SELL OUT!!!😆😆😆
Stop riding on the successes of individual athletes and skirting around the issue.
We are in decline.
Give the woman team a chance.... not the man football team. Those are so called "professional players " in the football is a joke.
