The idea of cutting the swimming length, according to the Comms.....seemingly last year with the swimming being between the super hard obstacle course and the ultra important laser run, most athletes were treating swimming as a relaxer, rather than a full on competitive event. Cutting it to 100m is designed to turn swimming back into a decisive change of positions, as it used to be. -

Its not about being fair, but how the rankings are calculated. Most teams experiment and give young players debut in bilateral series while focusing on World Cups. For example, Australia is no 3 despite not qualifying for semis in past 2 WC The only rankings which is true is Test rankings as each match is important due to Test Championships -

you're obsessed! but who cares about a team of mercenaries? the players have to be true "Italians", which means they have to have Italian blood running through their veins, they have to feel the love for the Country, they have to feel their heart bumping when the Anthem is played, they have to really want to play for us there's no need to bring here people not good enough to make their native NT, just pick and train our young girls! waterpolo isn't that complicated, just needs a strong physical preparation and being smart enough to understand the tactical situation and take the correct decisions in the pool ps and frankly, better find a swimmer capable of winning multiple medals than a winning team in a sport watched just by the players' relatives 😈 -

I don't think rankings are fair in cricket. There's no cricket between India and Italy or Papua New Guinea for the latter team to improve their performance or get better in rankings. It's just top 8 teams that regularly play against each other. In long term, if more teams being competitive there will be more interesting match ups rather than between same old teams. -

I understand your disappointment as a neutral Olympics fan , but the qualification pathway that both ICC & IOC has agreed on is based on pure merit. In fact many other Olympic sports has world ranking system as the primary means of qualification . This achieves 2 things, it rewards the best nations in that particular sports who have managed to perform at the highest level over a period of time rather than a one off playoff/qualifiers & secondly it ensures you get quality matches among the best teams in the world at the Olympic level. There is a reason world rankings are used as a parameter for qualification in multiple Olympic sports. I am delighted for & they qualified on merit albeit via penalty kicks, but how many Canadians (or the global audience)will be interested to watch a World cup opening match at home v as compared to v . You will get your answer as to why ICC choose world rankings over a random qualifier.
