My view on the “Tom isn’t focusing enough” issue 

I’m not from the UK, but I have heard that there has been some criticism about Tom for doing the LFMAO parody video.

1. They’re saying that he isn’t putting enough effort, or isn’t focusing enough on the olympics, and wasting his time doing this video. Let’s think about this:He was in Australia, for diving camp, for some training. He did the video, when he WASN’T training, and had time off. You can not expect a 17 year old boy, who is training for the olympics, to be training 16 hours a day, 7 days a week. That will have a really big impact on him, and his body. Which could result in him being majorly fatigued, and possibly ruining his chances for London 2012 anyway! 
2. There have also been reports, that he is focusing too much o media appearances and has given up on London 2012. Again, is this a joke?! He went on the Chris Moyles show, and his suddenly given up on the olympics. The reasoning for this was, that the chinese were working harder, and were doing less media appearances. WHO. GIVES. A. SHIT. HOW. MUCH. TRAINING. THEY. ARE. DOING. 
   If you were honestly so concerned as to how much they’re training, and how much tom is training, than work out a new system. I personally would recommend that you don’t, but if you have such a big issue with it. Then, fix it, rather than going to the media about it.  
3. And like I said before, he’s only 17 - he’s still young, he still needs to learn to have time off, to do what normal 17 year olds do- have fun with their friends, muck around, not take everything so seriously all the time. 

If this makes no sense, I apologise. I just needed the rant.
