And now, another classic repression in the long history of such repressions delivered by dictatorial and dinosauric Australian sports managers against their own champion athletes.
Titmus is absolutely right and it's clear numerous other athletes, not only Australian, share her opinion. This is demonstrated by the mass exodus from Olympic Village to more fruitful and suitable accoms. BTW I was in Paris this past weekend and the influx was already underway to the hotel where I stayed, which is located nearly 20kms from St. Denis and the track and aquatic center.
The disconnect between Olympic organizers and team coaches/managers on the one hand, and the needs of athletes on the other, and its effect on performance, is endemic and persistent.
Ariarne: I have some nice 68 OG shirts featuring Smith, Carlos and Norman on the medal stand. Special deal for you. Why not wear it to your next team meeting?
