Hahah! Wicked!

Good for your son! I'm sure he'll become anything he sets his mind to. I'm sure you often say, "the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree"

That is very cool.

I was recently reading an article on how much it costs the average olympics participant to go from meet to meet and all the traveling costs per year. On average it was around $150,000.

It is very expensive and in Canada they receive very, very little assistance unless they are sponsored by a company and that is desperate hard to get, most are self supporting or a little help from the community.

In the same article I was reading, they talked about how the Home Depot used to have a program where they would pay athletes training for the olympics a full time salary and benefits for only part time work.
