The mistake they make is that most aren’t Olympic athleasts and couldn’t have been and the regret they will feel is not having been more healthy at school, indeed it’s better public policy to focus on things that make people healthy than focus on winning medals. So Indian dancing didn’t seem like a problem to most.
