  • Looks like a third of GB olympic athletes are from private schools so if you base it on alumni visiting you're probably ~ 9 times more likely to get a visit at a private school.

  • But if you expand that to “successful sportspeople” which includes say all premier league footballers? I’m guessing at that point you’re more likely to get a visit if you’re at a state school.

  • I'd guess so, the thread was about Olympians though. Plus football clubs are well versed in hoovering up all the available talent.
