Not quite sure what to make of this one from the Mirror:

Golfing millionaires complain it is unfair and unacceptable when it rains, and millionaire footballers whinge that they are treated as slaves.

But in Cardiff, there's a delightful 11-year-old girl who thinks nothing of getting up at 5.30am and doing her gymnastic training before school.

After which she will eat the right, high-protein food before doing her homework, then perhaps a little light training before bed.

"There is no time," says her father, "for socialising."

Such is the lot of one of the young athletes who have Olympic Dreams (BBC1).

Together with the stories of diving sensation Tom Daley and judo hopeful Ashley McKenzie, this absorbing programme featured Venus Valentine Romaeo, who recently came second in the Wales Gymnastic Championships.

Her dream might well be to compete at the 2012 London Olympics, but it is literally the be-all and end all for her father, former stripper Tony Romaeo.

"It means so much to me, to achieve something through my children. I'd be happy to die then." The names of his children are a bit of a giveaway that he has high hopes for them.

Venus' older brother is budding boxer Romeo Casanova Valentino (names not normally associated with a lack of socialising), and her younger siblings are Angel Aphrodite, Isis Ise, Achilles Spartacus Mars, and baby Caesar Augustus Constantine.

They are not all expected to become champions though, oh no.

"If Romeo and Achilles make it as pro boxers, and we are all living comfortably, then I doubt Caesar will need to get into any kind of sport, especially boxing," says Tony.

Now I quite like the idea of my younger daughter competing at an Olympic Games, but after watching Olympic Dreams, I realise I've probably left it too late to start her training regime. She's five years old already.

... wow ... I couldn't even convince my wife to name one of our kids 'Rocky' (Rocco, actually ... but 'Rocky Meadows' sounded like such a good name)
