If everyone took that view our Artistic Gymnastics team would never have got the funding a few years ago that brought us medals at London 2012 - if you've got a group of girls, coaches and parents like this (who are prepared to invest their own time and money) and they can achieve what they did (again look at their performance if you doubt me) then how much more is possible with the injection of funding and encouragement.
They deserve all the congratulations they get and I, for one, am looking forward to Rio 2016 to see what they can achieve there.
