The Irrelevant Olympic Team Funding III

Hello. Well, Canada is up to 13 medals now, which eclipses Athens. Well done everyone.
However, it still doesn't change the fact many athletes were there who shouldn't have been. When I say they're irrelevant, I mean as Olympic athletes, not as human beings.
Because they're irrelevant, I don't believe they should be funded. Especially if funding's an issue, as it always seems to be.
Does Canada need to send a boxer who loses 20-1? Or pistol shooters who finish way out of it? I don't think so.
And while dreaming to be an Olympic athlete is a relevant goal, there should be signs of being able to be competitive before funding is coming their way.
Funding should be a priviledge, not a right.
