Anyone else catch the interview Bob Costas did with Bela Karolyi after favorite Jordyn Wieber failed to qualify for the all-around competition? Only two gymnasts from each country are allowed in the all-around. Costas made a comparison to NCAA basketball. He said something like "it would be like if in the NCAA tournament only two teams from the Big Ten or the ACC were allowed into the tourney."
An equally fitting analogy would be that it's exactly like swimming at the Olympics.
