I knew UK Sport were tough, but this is ridiculous!

"UK Sport announces 2014 medal targets of between 90 and 120 for each funded Olympic sport to prepare for Rio 2016" - Really!

This is the exact copy of the headline on the Beeb's website on June 24, 2014
The actual article was a little clearer, but so far the headline hasn't changed

Maggie V's progression

Her outfits through the rounds at USA T & F National Championships

           Semi

           

                         and the Final

In view of the interest ...

  ... in the May 30 th. I feel obliged to bring to you
  attention Ms. V's creations form earlier this season.
  I can't even begin to imagine what she has in store for
  Nationals!

    

      

    

The other side ...

... of being a top class athlete!

A couple of days after winning in Goetzis, KJT got down to the more serious side of professional athletics!

                

Oh dear

With the football World Cup about to start with incomplete stadiums and unfinished facilities, there may be a few sailors reconsidering competing in the 2016 Olympics
