Disastrous games for . I’m worried about both future funding and future broadcasting. 

If you are so worried, might I suggest that you retire to a darkened room for a lie down. Feel free to stay there until you rid yourself of these notions that you know anything about sport funding or broadcasting rights.

So you are saying putting in a terrible game like this should have no funding consequences! Typical British sporting mentality that is causing so many issues.

I'm not saying anything of the kind - I'm saying that YOU don't know your arse from your elbow when it comes to questions of funding. More than that, you seem to relish in the ridiculous Nostradamus prophesizing of doom and gloom. Only a few weeks ago you were saying that GB were going to cancel all funding for winter sports purely on the basis that GB missed out on a medal in the mixed curling and Kirsty Muir missing the podium. You were rightly called out for it and then went very quiet when the medals started to be won. 

 

I'm more than happy to call out the mismanagement of elite sport in UK but thankfully funding decisions a) aren't up to folks like you and b) are made by people who recognise that athletes can't and shouldn't be judged purely on one result. 

 

Please, take up knitting or needle point, or maybe join a book club where your outlandish notions can be fully appreciated by like minded people.

Despite those 5 medals funding is still being somewhat cut for 2030 due to challenges etc It has been mentioned in articles I’ve posted.  
 

Im just really worried about the future of GB Winter Paralympic sport. These games are turning into such a mess. Basically relying on people crashing so Neil Simpson can snatch a medal. Other hopes are more unlikely.
