[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 547517, member: 59"] I find this entire thread so very interesting and have learned a great deal. I find it interesting that this sports team traveled to the U.S. during the time their own country is hosting the Olympics. Was there a particular reason for the travel to be done now? I would have thought they would want to stay home and participate if only to watch the Olympics on TV. I know I am glued to the TV every four years and was thrilled to see the success that the UK is having in these games. They have done a wonderful job with the Olympics and I have enjoyed every minute. I also wondered if your high schools and colleges have sports teams that the great athletes usually come out of. Here in the U.S. our kids start competing in sports in elemenatry school, then go on to high school and compete with other schools and those talented enough get sports scholarships to college where they compete and hopefullyget drafted into the professional league depending on the sport. Is it as organized in the UK? Nancy [/QUOTE]
