trying..yep-fer sure they're trying..
we don't spend a lot of bucks on olympic athletes/training/accomodations etc. like other countries.we also don't reward with them with much of anything if they get a medal like other countries give their athletes. they enter and train and compete for the love of the amatuer sport aspect and to try for their own best in whatever sport in which they compete.
winter sports seem to garner more medals for canada..
