WITHOUT INCREASED financial support, a
dramatic change in philosophy and a reorganiza-
tion of our athletic system, Canadians can expect
fewer victories at future international competitions
— including the 1984 summer Olympics.

So say three scientists with
the kinesiology department at
Simon Fraser University.
Drs. Enc Banister, John
Dickinson and John Wilkin-
son, contend that Canadians
are unwittingly slipping fur-
ther and further into athletic
mediocrity and that as our
improvement slows, other
nations are taking steps
which promise to give them
athletic superiority for
decades to come.

The controversial predic-
tions are based on research
into factors which determine
whether an athletic system is
likely to produce increasingly
better or worse competitors;
factors such as monetary in-
vestment, number of sports
facilities, participation rates
and provisions made for the
training of highly qualified
coaches and elite athletes.

FALLING DOWN
“‘Tf international ex-
cellence is our goal, Canada

every category,’ says
Banister.

‘*Superior athletic perfor-
mance depends on adequate
investment in sport facilities
and the establishment of a
national sports network that
can quickly identify elite in-
‘dividuals who have the
potential of becoming world
class. And once the top
athletes are identified, there
must be financial resources
and facilities available for
them, and their coaches, to
apply scientifically proven
training techniques.’”’

Wilkinson agrees. ‘‘There
iS no mystery why Eastern
bloc countries do so well in
international competition.
Simply stated, they expend
their money and_ energies
where there will be maximum
payoff. lt has nothing to do
with nationalism, socialism
or capitalism providing the
psychological stimulus to
