Out of interest, what's realistic? Imagine there must be some interesting studies out there on this?

And how do you think Wiggins would be doing? I ask partly out of jest, but also because I'm genuinely interested in your opinion.

In fairness he/she addressed your long post with a counter-argument. I thought it was quite an interesting debate so it's a pity you had to shut it down with a Straw Man argument.

Volley technique isn't indicative of groundstroke technique/talent. Some of the greatest technicians from the back of the court have been atrocious volleyers. Usually a result of the fact that when growing up it wasn't something they practiced/used that much (either due to the courts they were...

If it is part of the process, the IOC must have been upset that Greece didn't fulfil their side of the bargain in the Athens Olympics... Kenteris and Thanou not exactly the brightest tools in the box.
