    Sooooooooooooooooooo you know it's a lot of people participating in the Olympics representing a country that they were not born in because that's where they train or the team of the country that sponsored them. Educate yourselves @not right and @WOW....You all sound like you are not exposed to anything but the BVI. Expose yourself to other things than the local stuff and ratchet content on the internet. Reading a book or two or three won't hurt me either.
