Nobody need apologize for praising young athletes no matter where they are from. I am Canadian but I can still appreciate the USA girls gymnastics team as they were outstanding or praise the Chinese for their superb athletisism and of course Michael Phelps for his athletic drive and success. I feel joy for any young person achieving their dream of becoming an Olympian. Of course you say.........if they're from Yorkshire.....all the better.
