Honours for Olympians

[Stat Brother]

I take it now that the standard has been set, by Dame Kelly Holmes.
Becky Adlington will now also be a Dame.

Not wishing to do a Mystic Stat and jinx Bradley Wiggins, but as he's going for 3 he'll be crowned King!

nah, Kelly Holmes had over 10 years performing at the top level. Adlington will get an honour of some sort but probably won't become a dame until she retires after a long career.

we have spent £500,000,000 on these so called "sportsmen and women" on coaching,support and "compensation"for not being able to have a job due to training commitments.


we will be lucky if they return 50 medals (of all grades and that includes team sports such as relay racing at the rate of 1 per athlete)at a hopefull cost of only £10 million each.

we are committed to spending £700 million on team support for the london games because we cant expect the poor dears to work for a living

AND YOU WANT TO GIVE THE FUCKERS KNIGHTHOODS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they should have the honour of representing their country, and knowing they're at the top of their sport

that should be enough

I sure as hell don't as I'd have thought the heavily ladden sarcasm in the Wiggins comment would have proved.
