This will ensure more medals. <br /><br />If corporates want to get involved - great, but please, laying the blame for our performances on the lack of public support is plain bull. . Rudolph");

document.write("Quite honestly, I dont think anyone really cares that much for any sport except the few you mention. Maybe the ANC should spend as much effort in trying to make the rugby team black intrying to make all the other sports black.<br />SA does not even have a hope in the tennis, why ? Because all our talented athletes are gone at a young age to places where they will receive the proper training and support.<br />One day the only sport left will be Soccer. steve");
