Maybe they're too comfortable down at the AIS.
Accommodation, food prepared by chefs acting on the advice of sports nutrition doctors, small stipend, daily massages, on-staff physiotherapists, and enough leisure time to

won gold in women's high jump, with a jump of 1.94m.
"Patterson is the athlete without a track. Her coach Dave Green picks her up several times a week and the pair drive through the streets of Leongatha in country Victoria looking for an empty oval to throw down some mats. Eleanor then jumps - very high - over a bar onto the mats."
Maybe we'd get more medals if we cut funding to the AIS.
