Actually now that I look at the numbers, it makes even less sense. Almost the entire reduction of 4800 athlete down to 3000 is explained by the removal of events. There's no reason to halve our swim team, considering we likely have the third strongest team
So is every swimming event just going to be a straight final? We send twice as much to the Olympics. We might as well not even compete in the freestyle relays with those numbers.
I know they are trying to save the games, but the biggest draw to the Commonwealth Games was it was a best on best event. Once you start messing with that the games will become an after thought.
