Oh anything will start a war in some parts of South America ...

Team GB's cyclists received excellent coverage here, but I've only seen their games against Australia in most other sports. It's a good example of funding reaping rewards, though, as eight years ago team GB had the same issues that the Australians are still dealing with. I do not understand why the major commercial channels don;t at least cover the rugby and the basketball as they are infinitely more physical and exciting games than their everyday counterparts.
