The idea of cutting the swimming length, according to the Comms.....seemingly last year with the swimming being between the super hard obstacle course and the ultra important laser run, most athletes were treating swimming as a relaxer, rather than a full on competitive event. Cutting it to 100m is designed to turn swimming back into a decisive change of positions, as it used to be.
Its not about being fair, but how the rankings are calculated. Most teams experiment and give young players debut in bilateral series while focusing on World Cups. For example, Australia is no 3 despite not qualifying for semis in past 2 WC
The only rankings which is true is Test rankings as each match is important due to Test Championships
you're obsessed!

the players have to be true "Italians", which means they have to have Italian blood running through their veins, they have to feel the love for the Country, they have to feel their heart bumping when the Anthem is played, they have to really want to play for us
there's no need to bring here people not good enough to make their native NT, just pick and train our young girls!
waterpolo isn't that complicated, just needs a strong physical preparation and being smart enough to understand the tactical situation and take the correct decisions in the pool
ps and frankly, better find a swimmer capable of winning multiple medals than a winning team in a sport watched just by the players' relatives 😈
