It is a shame that the flowers he was presented with were roses instead of poppies.

Tall ones at that.

Wining a gold medal and being rich or poor are non sequitur.

Winning a gold medal means that you are the best of the best.

Most athletes, especially in Australia, have to scrimp and save and go without just to get
