  " false ideas of 'equality' are the enemy of real equality. The only equality that really counts is equality of opportunity and you do not get that through uniform mediocrity and catering for the lowest common denominator."
  
  Does this mean, is it intended to mean, that we are approaching a scenario whereby true equality of opportunity is to be achieved?
  
  In what way does pointing-up elite athletics help in achieving equality of opportunity? Who hears of those who come fourth, fifth, sixth etc.?
  
  Is the huge amount of Lottery Funding money new money? Is this money not from the same pot that used to be used to help individuals and groups at a local level, help improve the quality of life and broaden the scope for the equality of opportunity for many 'ordinary' people?
  
  Was it equality of opportunity that did not select the world's number one Taekwondo exponent in favour of a lesser exponent through some sponsorship bias and that insists that we applaud the Bronze when we could have gone for Gold?
