I agree. What makes it worse is our tax dollars pay for all these people at the AIS so they can learn to run and swim a little faster. I don't understand this country's obsession with sports that can't attract enough interest to fund themselves. I find it very annoying that our tax dollars go to these athletes when the government should be using the money for something useful like researching alternative fuels or something that will benifit all Australians.
Some of the sports are interesting enough to watch, but the highlight will have to be the U2 concert.
