America loses an Olympian: Jakob Fak heads to Canada

He only bothered to react after that bronze medal at the World Cup, and clearly, it wasn't enough. Good luck to Jacob with those Canadians. Hopefully, this serves as a wake-up call: if you don't fund the sport, you don't get to complain about the results.
What is wrong with you? You're trying to say our athletes didn't work hard enough... no, not at all. What could Mateša have even done if the guy refuses to take another coach, and besides, he can't just force him to ditch that Canadian guy. Look at Blanka, Ivica, Sandra—they had top-tier training conditions and look how far they got. Sure, maybe improving the facilities would have helped a bit, but I still can't believe he's actually heading over to Canada after everything.
