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!
I have to admit--and I'm a huge fan of "athletics" or "track and field"--that I was curious as to why the first three made the team in t and f events, but only two in the swim events. I think in ice skating too it's the first two in each category, but I'm less sure of that.
It's not something I'm losing sleep over, just wondering about it.
