Almost certainly. At least, that's what the people in the upper echelons of the Australian Olympic movement are saying. However, whatever they say needs to be viewed in the context of their constant lobbying for more funding.

The obvious solution is to employ more sports psychologists and pay them by reducing the income of the top mamagers

What factors other than chance would account for the success of some countries in turning silver into gold, and the abysmal performance of some other (apparently similar) countries.

interesting how a low gold to silver ratio can be described as abysmal?

As already pointed out, the term "abysmal" was ironic.

No, if you type _everything_ in caps, then it makes it lower case, but if there is some lower case mixed with the caps, then everything turns out as intended...
