You keep trying to say that Wales is shit at sport, and you keep ignoring the messages that prove that you are mistaken.
All over the country there are hard-working athletes who are grafting at running, cycling, gymnastics, and all of the other other sports that are only on the telly once every four years. Good luck to them, and I have an overwhelming respect for them.
Should we help them out? Yes, as long as you nominate what services you want to be cut instead, or say that you want to increase taxes.
I really don't see how you can compare Wales (3 million people) with India (300 million people). [Post edited 27 Jul 2014 2:24]

Selective responses eh.
India has approx 1.3 Billion people, so should be over 400 times more successful at sport, than Wales then. |  |

We should really be qualifying for the next euros considering some of the talent we have in our squad... Not convinced Cookie is the man for the job, although he had a decent results against Belgium and Iceland so I'm hoping he proves me wrong. |  | | |

Wales played Australia in Rugby earlier today for a chance to win a medal, they were leading with seconds to go and guess what, they blew it again, as i say plenty of talent but against the top teams our rugby players are a bunch of weak minded chokers, and this is proved to be the case on a regular basis. |  | | |

Interesting to note that Scotland had some of their top internationals playing in their team. Wales didn't bother - probably to much in fighting to get some top top players to represent their country. | |

I was listening to the radio and as I got out of the car they were miles ahead, by the time I got inside they had lost. Madness. |  |

Wales has won the golf world cup on two occasions, Wales has had many great boxers from Jimmy Wilde possibly the greatest P4P boxer ever right through to Joe Calzaghe with many in between, Wales has had lots of gold medalists in the Olympics in high profile individual events including a long jump gold medal and a road race cycling gold medal, Wales have also held the marathon mens world record and the 110m hurdles world record for a decade, both in modern times, in the paralympics Wales has one male and one female both with 11 golds each.
In cricket Glamorgan have beaten every test nation and in football Cardiff and Swansea have won a cup each and are/have been in the top division, in rugby Wales have fairly recently won the 7's world cup which is about to be an Olympic sport and regularly been the best national team in Europe.
Wales also does well in showjumping, darts and snooker. |  |

Glamorgan haven't beaten all the Test playing nations either. I don't think they've played at least three of them. |  |

Don't spoil the exaggerated, everything in the garden's rosy viewpoint most Welshmen have of their nations sporting prowess. | |

Games where we are able to compete. Anything you care to mention.
My question is why we are not able to do so. Lack of funding has been cited and it's a very valid point. | |

Of course not.
I concede perhaps my original title was a bit harsh on the sports people of wales who pluckily complete but don't win. | |

Surely the question is why aren't we?
Talk about a defeatist attitude. Beaten before we even take to the sport in question. | |
