Only the top 2?

In the freestyle relay(s), the top 6 goes to the Olympics. Yet, all the other events it is only the top 2. That should change. Every athlete that makes the qualifying time should go to the Olympics. Look at the men's 100 back, the top 6 at the 2008 US trials swam faster than the 1992 Olympic Gold Medalist. Surely the 5th swimmer could have a better performance in the "big" pool. Sending only 2 in each event "waters" down the potential performances at the Olympics, ultimately making the semi-finals less competitive. (other phrases could be used) The bottom line is, the top 16 at the Olympics should represent the fastest in the world.

    Yeah, if you did that you could also save on the TV revenue also, cause a whole boatload of it would be missing from US broadcasters. Union Jack or Union Flag, it's all the same, two days from now we celebrate the *** whooping we put on you and your hagis eating ways and brown teeth! Here we are then at Nationalism... Haggis: I get the feeling you'd know more about a Sheeps intestines than I... ...besides brown teeth are still teeth...just how do you manage to eat chewing tobacco that side of the Mason Disco line?
