Is it relevant that by definition, they are very mobile, possibly already receive UK Sport, Lottery and sponsored funding to enable them to participate in a chosen career whilst many young ambulant people are scrambling around to get a job, to buy a car, buy a home and raise a family?

Just because they are fitter and maybe healthier than me doesn't mean that they are still not disadvantaged being mobile
