How many countries had velodromes for cyclists to race around in circles indoors?

There shouldn’t be any reticence in the Western world for more sports to be included that are more prominent in the 3rd world.

Also, and I’m sure this isn’t just peculiar to Ireland, but each Irish athlete receives the average industrial wage from the state to exclusively train at their sport. There should be a fund to enable that to occur for all athletes from all countries. And the Olympic organisers, the tv companies, and us in the 1st world should be contributing to that fund, lest we wish to dwell in a world of sporting moral turpitude.

Responses:

US athletes don't get any money from the government. We're the only country where there is no government support for Olympic athletes. -- nm - . Aug 5, 06:46
Sir, are you implying the Olympics are corrupt? I will not hear it! Thomas Bach has the integrity of a Sepp Blatter, or a French figure skating judge! -- nm - mafic Aug 5, 03:38 1
