But seriously, that's such a crock. We're a fabulously wealthy first world nation, our "poverty line" means you rent an apartment and drive a used car. Oh no, they have to have 2 jobs. Does this really affect their ability to go to the pool at 4 am and swin for 7 hours? Obviously we would have a bigger, better team with more government support but I'm sick of excuses. People who live in mud huts are winning medals.
