Seven sports seek Olympic love 3:17pm on 27 Mar 2009 Just a quick note on the comparisons between badminton and squash. Badminton is a much more popular sport across the world in terms of spectators, players etc and just because badminton is in the Olympics it doesn't mean squash should be just because they are both racket sports. I do think squash should be in the Olympics though.

Why we all lose in the 2012 funding lottery 00:23am on 04 Dec 2008 Can someone please explain this sudden obsession with basketball? This is a sport that very few people in the UK watch, play or care about! Why is getting so much funding? We might not even qualify for 2012 and if we do we'll get thrashed anyway. Even if we improved a lot there are too many countries that play it at a high level so we've no chance of medaling in the forseeable future!
