Don't wanna say 'exactly', cos they are the minority, but it just proves what can be done if the talent/dedication is there.

Federer and Del Potro having a great match in the Tennis.

Edit: In the dressage, the German's horse currently riding is called 'Damon Hill'!! :o

Yeah, and £££ can often be a barrier to opportunity, and more sports could be proactive like rowing has apparently been, but it's too easy for people just to blame the people who can afford those opportunity in those sports, or those running it, rather than putting in the effort to break the mould. Strange how you don't hear anyone championing these causes until times like now.

Great point in the tennis a minute ago, diving volley winner by Del Potro. 9-8 final set now.
