    Would it be appropriate to limit time spent training. no more than 2 hrs a day. This was a problem in the past. Some atletes worked every day and had to fit their practice into free time. Others countries had their athletes in the armed forces and rather than training to be in the service their job was to train for sport. Other athletes who did not have support from their govenments had to work to put food on their tables. It has always been an unfair world. To swim in the Olympics I was not even allowed to work in a recreation centre, or receive a penny to assist me. If anyone gave me a bathing suit I would have been called a pro, and not allowed to be an Olympian. What ever happened, now professional athletes are competing in the Olympics. It should not even be called the Olympics it should be The Pro Games. The Olympics no longer follow the Olympic Creed, it is now Olympic Greed.
