The difference in GB between Atlanta and Sydney was day and night. With the exception of swimming, it took more time for that sport to start producing medals.
It doesn't matter if it's an "accident" or not. A false start is a false start. It's even stricter now. Look at Bolt being disqualified in 2011 after just one false start. The field got a warning in 1996 and then Linford made a mistake. It is what it is and he was rightly DQ'd even if it's unfortunate.
Jonathan Edwards attitude to getting silver in Atlanta is awful. He simply doesn't have any emotional feelings for how well Kenny Harrison performed. You're talking about a black guy competing for America, in the American South in front of a stadium full of white folk, who then goes out and jump further than his old pb twice. Even in the hindsight of BLM he still doesn't care for anything except himself.
The title of this should really be “How we just bought all these medals.” The money injection has destroyed what was special about the games. Taking part was more important than winning.
@@EurovisionSlovenia Exactly what's wrong with it. When Germany got knocked out of euro 2000 the German football association invested in youth football more, created lots of non-club affiliated academies and it paid off with a world cup win in 2014. I don't see the problem
John Major doesn't get enough credit for helping to turn around British sport.
Didn't realise there was these documentaries about Team GB.
Atlanta 1996 was a disaster.

It wasn't Linfords fault. The first was accident, Atlanta officials should be ashamed of themselves

Stupid
Do you think GB is the only country to do this? How naïve
