You want to talk about it and it could make for tomorrow’s programme:
More and more athletes are switching nationalities in order to compete at the Olympics. There are Brazilians representing Georgia, a Syrian representing Germany, a Kenyan representing the United States and an American, (Becky Hammon) representing Russia.
It’s not the first time this is happening BUT it’s becoming more noticeable in Beijing than in previous Games, so much so it’s beginning to cause concern among international sports bodies.
Is it wrong to change your nationality in order to try and win an Olympic medal? What’s more important – National allegiance or an Olympic medal?
