I am continuously seeing Australians achieving greatly in sport and Olympics despite have a very low population considering its size and comparing it other other countries, it is very impressive. If they continue this way they may be able to become the worlds best. They have had the worlds best cricket players, great tennis players, the worlds best squash players, great swimmers, athletes and are the best in the world at rugby league and a close second at union. Why are they so good?I am continuously seeing Australians achieving greatly in sport and Olympics despite have a very low population considering its size and comparing it other other countries, it is very impressive.

Because if you can compete in 50 degree weather, you can compete anywhere.

Rugby league, Rugby Union and Cricket are not played seriously by a lot of nations. The true measure can be found in international sports like track and field or soccer. Australia comes back to the field there. Australia has one of the least active, most obese populations of all the countries in the world. Its sporting prowess is a myth.

Its how we are brought up. We have weekend sport: Athletics, swimming, cricket, the various football codes. For kids they have these on the weekend and some schools also contest various sports as a school. Ansd as Kristy said, some of our conditions can be quite taxing.

We love our sport. There are great competitions for young sportspeople every weekend. That is where it all stems from.
