    One major way of finding a solution is to encourage the security agencies to employ able sportsmen and women and allow them more training times whilst they are still on pay. School and College sports need to be intensified an ...

    Fritz do not kid yourself please. Winning medals is about investing money into sports. Ask the British and they will tell you that funding is the key word. Nkrumah did it with money.
