Also, some countries have chosen to use a disproportionately large amount of
their resources on Olympic sports. I am thinking about ex-Communist
countries (including my native Hungary), where high sport achievements were
considered a proof of superiority of communism.  While this mindset has
changed, the good 'schools' in certain sports still remain due to great
coaches, popularity, etc.
