I agree that sport is a great cure of social problems but unfortunately we don’t do anything near enough to get people involved. I get the feeling that cost is a major issue.

Yes, there are anomalies in society and crime will always exist but the Olympic Spirit is uplifting the nation.

When I said ‘no’, he started to pull a knife from his pocket; I ran before he got a chance to use it. The athletics and the Olympics in general are great – but all of the nation’s social ills are not banished by virtue of a few people running and jumping.
