I think its a awful lot of public money to spend on playing games, just to prove someone can throw a stick futher than you or run a distance faster than you  its hardly life saving is it  they would be better off building a hospital or something like that!
I just dont get it myself but.......

There's no going back now, on the plus side it's providing jobs for hundreds of people

Sponsorships,  lottery money and the instant wins from Good Causes are funding it

Thats another reason I dont get it , Somebody will give you millions to play games but they couldn't give to the ill and dying people of this world
I feel for all the fit and athletic types who run around in the name of Olympian status, why cant they get a job instead of spunging off sponsorships

A lot of people wanted the lottery money to go to the NHS but others thought it would let the Government off the hook and they might waste the money saved :-\
