I always assumed that everyone knew no country would ever be awarded a World Cup without pricey gifts exchanging hands under the tables.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The teams who play against us don't give us any gifts, but we were too kind.
I would trade all the individual awards I've won for a World Cup.
People actually get sponsors based on the merits of the Cup, not on the merits of the sailors.
There is something so arbitrary about prizes.
We are never doing anyone any favors by withholding our gifts from the world. It's scary to be fierce, but you can't compromise that for fear of losing those around you.
I did charity events with the Cup all the time.
The world is made up of people who never quite get into the first team and who just miss the prizes at the flower show.
The world is full of people who never quite get into the first team and who just miss the prizes at the flower show.
The World Cup is a truly International event.
Nobody is offered a World Cup.
