In Response To: Re: Slots criteria vs. selection criteria (Rob Macklem)

Rob,

I agree with you. This laughable situation would never happen in any of the dominant lifting countries in the world. The Russians would just put their likely to be the most successful lifter (in this case, Casey Burgener)on the team. And that's what we should be doing, too.

No one else, and I like them all, will do anywhere close to as well as he would. They will just be tourists to the Games in essence, while Casey might legitimately be in the top ten.

Hope you are well.

John
