This is :ISV smallest delegation since 2003 :( 

Yeah, a bit disappointing in that regard, but I do feel like the quality of athletes is good. I don’t want to get my hopes up too much, but a medal doesn’t seem impossible.

Probably cost related purposes. If that was indeed an issue, they could’ve just sent developmental (or B/C) squads, with athletes looking to gain international experience from these big multi-sport meets.

It’s more an attitude problem that point. It’s not like these federations are anymore cashed strapped than those sending teams to Santiago. The Games just don’t really seem to mean much to Canada and the United States (outside of Olympic qualification). It would be nice they’d at give athletes the option to self-fund trips to qualification events and the Games themselves.
