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.

It was on Galavision.
So I should have to subscribe to yet one more cable channel to watch the national team play in an international match? You know what my piont is, is should be central. It certainly wasn't on any cable PPV or otherwise on my system, I checked through.
Admitted, you probably have to have Sky TV in England or go to the pub. But between ESPN, MSG, FSN, Soccerchannel... you think one of them could have shown it?
I didn't say FIFA wouldn't miss the cash, but they managed before. It would not be the end of the World Cup.
