   Actually, I think they're jaded, it's work after all, day in day out, 'lock down' at Weymouth, do this, do that, whereas there is probably a degree of hunger amongst some of the others and dare I say it maybe they're still doing it for the enthusiasm, it's nothing to do with nationhood which country they come from, it's been my experience internationally, water and beach folk are pretty much all the same types.
There is no backwards or forwards at this level, it's mostly what's going on in your head, personally I wonder if they f**k with our guys heads at times,  some ex ping pong player telling me I might have a self belief problem or whatever it is he tells them.. That or they just plain wear them out with too much training, some it works for some it doesn't and you get injury, whatever, it doesn't matter to me I don't think any the less of them, they've given everything as have all the athletes and the dice rolled
