It also discourages athletes who are coming up and make some retire early. It also incentivizes doping. Hard to see the rationale behind this. Really feel for qualified athletes who are being left at home. Their Olympic dream wasn’t big enough?!

Olympic Creed: "The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part; the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well" UKA: 🖕 So shortsighted.
