Sadly the Corinthian spirit in top level sport rarely exists. It’s been used too often as a way of a State making a statement.I'm sure that most Olympic athletes in most sports are externally funded, so of course if Team GB is going to be competitive, then external funding is necessary. What I meant was that before external funding was the norm, sport was fun and enjoyable. I wonder if Naomi Osaka, Ben Stokes and Simone Biles enjoy it?
No, I mentioned those sports because that's what I played. If cycling and bowls and badminton still have an amateur ethos then that's great.
