TV - Are We Giving Kids a Sporting Chance?


Thursday 4th October,7.30pm

ITV

In what PROMISES to be the last mention of the Olympics, ITV news reporter, Mark Austin, puts a dampener on our summer of optimism and national pride, and returns us to our globally-accepted state of charming self-deprication with this foray into why, despite the youth of Britain's new-found enthusiasm for sport, it's not being met with the funding and support they need to tap into their potential talent.

What started with Bradley Wiggins winning the Tour de France, exploded with the reams of Olympic and Paralympic medallists, and ended with newly crowned 'Brit', Andy Murray, winning the US Open, has inspired a new generation of future sporting heroes who could be wasted if we don't step up in the same way that our pushier global neighbours do.
