I think where people should be focusing is that there is likely to be a
fair bit more money around for sport in the UK between now and 2012. A
lot of that will be channeled into the mainstream events with the best
chance of producing medals but I expect to see some sort to Sport for
All type initiative.
Forget trying to get into the Olympics and think about how to get a
share of that funding and perhaps use the infrastructure that will be
created to expand the sport in schools an colleges. That means having
representatives ready to go, literature design, a coaching scheme etc.

Sorry guys but it doesn't look like Ultimate has got a chance at 2012.
Just read this on BBC website...
"Baseball and softball have been dropped from the Olympic programme
for the 2012 Games in London.
Their places will go to squash, golf, rugby, karate or roller skating,
with International Olympic Committee members voting on Saturday. "
So no more rounders then ;-) Can't imagine why they want golf - they
all make so much money from other tournaments they're hardly going to
turn out for nothing at the Olympics. Bring on Disc golf I reckon!
