AsĀ a Track and Field tragic one of my biggest regrets is that I never got to see how good a Decathlete Anthony Koutoufides could have been.
As a Carlton supporter I'm pretty happy to have seen what a great footballer he turned out to be.
It's a culture thing.
We have a great diversity of sports.
Our Olympic medal tally, healthy, as it is, would be much higher if some of our AFL, NRL and Rugby Union players were involved in Olympic sports.
By the same token the USA probably 'loses' a lot of talent to Basketball and American Football.
