R they though?
honestly, if the NCAA pulled the plug on scholarships for non-Americans doing meme sports, every country’s Olympic “program” would be fucked
The real answer is after 92 (?) a huge amount of money was poured in from the federal government, especially with Sydney 2000 being recently awarded.It set up the AIS.Also helped that we had a comfortable anglo-saxon middle class and recent migrants from southern Europe and the Baltics.This was why the Socceroos probably should and could have made the semis of the 2006 World Cup (AIS wog kids). And yknow good weather and everyone was healthy and most people played at least one sport.It'll never happen again though because kids want to be people who play sport and parade around on instagram rather than being good at sport, too much money is funnelled into irrelevant women's sport, and our migrants are all Chinese and Indian. Australia probably is the best sporting country on earth though just in terms of population, reach, and breadth of sport. the fact most of the country is obsessed with a native game that's played nowhere else hinders it too.Ireland and Scotland are probably the only rivals in terms of cultural importance per capita.

We invest a LOT into women's sport way more than most countries so our women win most of our medals because the competition is so high for men
