^ that's true, for sure.
Cannot believe the Feds give the Olympians $20/$15/$10k for gold/silver/bronze but ZERO to the paralympians!
I watched one guy race, his nickname is White Tiger i think - he came 5th and was so down, said that his funding will now be cut too because he didnt make it to the podium. For a rich country like ours, you'd think there'd be better support.
Harvey Norman & others has the audacity to sponsor the games and then hold onto Jobkeeper until they couldnt anymore due to whatever reason - even then they only gave less than a 3rd back. And they don't see the hypocrisy when these athletes, who they put on the front of their catalogues, get f all funding. Terrible.
But back to the athletes - boy they are amazing. Their attitudes are just unreal, great sportsmanship. Brilliant games
