🔴 🇬🇧 **A quarter of Britons think they could qualify for the 2028 Olympics**
"_The youngest Britons are by far the most likely to think they have what it takes to compete on the world stage, with 39% of 18-24 year olds saying so, alongside 34% of 25-49 year olds. Understandably the oldest Britons are far less certain, although even still 15% of the over-65s think they could compete at an Olympic level in four years’ time if they put their mind to it._"

@jgg I have to tip my hat to the over 65s who belive they can compete in 2028 if only they put their minds to it.
😂 Totally agree.
@bibliolater The 18-24 YOs probably could, if they were prepared to make serious comittments to it now. But they won't.
Over 65s - none of them could.
Your average reasonably fit person would without any training lose badly to the losing competitors in any discipline.
@SteveClough According to the article some of the over 65's believed they could did if they "put their mind to it".
@bibliolater maybe if Bowls ever became an olympic sport.
@SteveClough Or if egotism were to become an Olympic sport.
@bibliolater
Well, that explains Brexit. If so many people can believe something so unlikely, I can see why they would believe the outlandish fantasies of the Brexit campaign.
Britain is a land of broken dreams. Sigh.
