Why can one nation have multiple teams in the same event?

Like if you could have three teams in Team Sprint Cross country or three mixed doubles curling teams from one nation.

Or a country with more than one pair in figure skating, or more than one doubles team in luge, or more than one doubles team in tennis, etc
