A comment about problems of Olympic selection in GB Taekwondo caught my eye.

I see parallels to the ECF directors and Council.

I loved the article further down the same page. Are similar unfeasibly large quantities provided by the organisers at Chess Olympiads??!!

There is a story not so very far from home about one (non-playing) team member being asked to go out to buy one for a playing colleague. So they are probably not provided by the organisers, perhaps because it is too hard to inscribe Kirsan's image on them?
