The same would apply to the Olympians in many cases. Whilst Eton do have their own rowing lake, our future Olympians (3 Golds, a Silver and a Bronze in the last 4 Olympics) trained on a twisty bit of river half the correct length, in boats provided by donations, with all time freely given by staff on top of their normal teaching. And the kids worked themselves as hard as they could.

Privilege, my @rse.
