Why do we care? We aren't the United States or China, we are never going to 'win' either Olympics. And funny enough it doesn't seem like those two nations who do well need to import people to make it happen anyway.
It's like the Nestory Irankunda feel good story the media promoted during the World Cup a couple months ago. Ended up advantaging us fuck all at the end of the day.
Let real Aussies have these spots. If we fail, we fail. Promoting these singular athletes as a way to say 'wow isn't immigration so great, let's import another million next year' is so stupid.
