Has the Championship Committee, or other entity within USMS ever discussed having a more strict policy of enforcement in regards to the NQT's?
Why do we state that you must have 3 cuts, in order to swim more events? Why not require a swimmer to have 6 cuts in order to swim 6 events?
Just like to understand more from a historical point of view. I have read post that asked, or suggested how to control the size and length of the National meets. Would not having a stricter enforcement of this policy help? Or would it cause swimmers to shy away from these meets?
Just a curious thought.
Thank you.
Sports may not be for the most elite, but the Olympics should be.
If the Olympics were meant to be the "World Championships" in many sports so important to only happen once every four years, then the competitors should be ones that are the elite competitors not only in their country but in the world also.
Yes Eddie the Eagle and the Jamaican Bobsledders were a nice respite from very intense and exciting competition, but the more they have these "wild card" entries, the more it takes away from the amazing competition we see only once every four years.
