Third now.
It's John Major's legacy. The National Lottery setup under his government has spent around 4 billion on sport in the UK and funded around 1500 elite athletes.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I wondered if it was lottery funding too. Its had a remarkable effect given the difference between today and the Atlanta games.

Plus we're exceptionally good at sports you compete in whilst sitting down.

Wow! I'm good at that - I almost never fall off - and never had any idea I was an elite athlete! 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I was thinking of things like rowing and dressage, those traditional routes out of the ghetto for a British youth.

I likely will not be online tomorrow so happy early Left Handers day to you all tomorrow, August 13th.
If you need a cause to fight for right now, I urge you to speak up for the left handed. Most items in your life are designed to work for right handed people. You have no idea what it is like to be discriminated against on a daily basis. Fight for the right cause. 
We're all born right handed, only the best of us overcome it. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

No, my friend, emojis are for the kiddos. We want the cursors. Give us the left handed cursors.

I actually set the right-handed version on every machine I use (even though I was born left-handed). It's surprising how many people don't notice.

My profound sympathies on your distressing ailment.
I suggest you have it surgically removed so that you can get on the right track.

Happy lefty day!
I'm a lefty myself, but I do most things right (and also with my right hand) 
Just a left writer actually. And some other stuff.
Pretty ambidextrous in some.
My left eye does close to nothing when my right eye is open though.
It's a strange and confusing world we live in.
