Swimming treated unfairly compared to Track & Field
Former Member
We have had this discussion before, but I've been watching US Trials in Track and getting indignant all over again over 3 competitors qualifying for Olys in Track compared to Swimming. Yes, I know the history of the limitation to 2 in Swimming, but the world has changed and there are certainly other countries that could send 3 world class competitors...anyway, compared to Track, we as a sport, are getting jobbed!
The politically correct term for Track and Field is "Athletics". Hard to find T&F mentioned at the Olympic site where it always referred to as athletics.
Of course it's business related, but at least swimming is growing world-wide, and will be even more popular in a month.:) But I have to say some of the sprint track is spectacular to view too.
