But the stat @orangeman provided is still accurate - would have been 5th in Tokyo.

Yes, let's focus on what's important here. I was right.

It's a bit complicated. Just like there are athlete quota limits, there are also limits for coaches and support staff. In total, there can only be around 5000 coaches and support staff.

 

Canada has a set amount of personnel they can send which is further split by sport. While I agree with the removal of the rule that the personnel must work in Canada for a certain amount of time, it becomes tricky to send a coach whose focus is on a single athlete.

 

For MacNeil's case, who is in contention to win four medals I would make the decision to bring them. Canada brings too few swimming coaches, given the size of team.
