With the London Olympics starting later this month only days away I see the Athletics team has been announced today. Full details of which can be found on the BBC here

I am somewhat disappointed that after all the millions of pounds of Lottery funding which has gone into preparing our potential Olympians apparently the target is only one gold in a total of eight medals. One Gold?

We achieved one gold four years ago and three golds in the previous Olympics. Surely on home ground we should be expecting more than one solitary gold medal. Perhaps they are adopting the political parties tactics of spinning to reduce expectations.
