I agree.
Diet and attitude are two of the reasons. Dramatic socio-economic disparity and 60 to 65% unemployment don't really help either, especially after the U-15 level. Look at India. Better than us? Sure. But for a country with a billion people? No.
I think we should spend money on and develop endurance sports like long distance cycling (rickshawallas), sculling, kayaking, walking and swimming.
