BLOCK F;7560462.I don't think basketball or handball get much dosh at all said:
I agree that basketball should be given more cash, we may not win medals in it but it's a sport that will attract lots of young people.

I don't see cycling as an elite sport though. Don't most kids have a bike? I see that although many of our medallists are privately educated, 92% of cycling medallists went to state schools - that sounds like a sport accessible to many

Another grudging article, by Simon Jenkins in the Evening Standard:

Yes I agree, there are a lot of questions that can and should be asked about the deal that West Ham have got. As for Olympicopolis, no, I'm not in a hurry to go and visit it, but it will succeed or fail on its own merits. I agree with him sometimes on architecture, but he uses his weekly article most of the time to moan.

Yes. But I must say I am with him on this one.
