However, the tracks are not really comparable in terms of profile and the athletes are also used to this in terms of training volume.  And the World Cup starters could certainly start two 50ks in two weeks, but after that they would definitely be out and if the next race is two days later, it's just not feasible.

That's the point. She better, in everyone's interest here, take time now to maximize her chances to be in her best shape come the Olympics.

Yeah, probably that would help. But some athletes from these clubs also get formal military ranks, I'm not sure how World Aquatics will estimate this. 

I know it doesn't work that way, but if you combined Paolini's character, technique, will to fight and ambition with the body and physical condition of a Sramkova, she would be the perfect player who could dominate tennis for years. There is currently no such dominator, yes there are great Sabalenka, Swiatek and Gauff but each of them lacks something. We will see what happens next with Sramkova, who has ideal conditions for playing tennis. Perhaps she will have a similar explosion of form as Paolini this season: the same age + loss in the Fed Cup final - Paolini 2023, Sramkova 2024. If Sramkova were 20-22 age now, I would predict a great future for her, but with 28 age as it`s there is uncertainty.
