This is my major issue with the Olympics. Too much of it is devoted to sports which are (and always will be) the preserve of the wealthy.
For all the talk of legacy, did London 2012 inspire any kids around Stratford to start canoeing? I’d be happy to be proved wrong but I don’t reckon it did.
Its biggest legacy was to make loads of private developers even richer.
