Death of the Olympic Spirit
This article states the the IOC wants to forbid "wildcard" athletes. I find this rather sad, I loved watching these guys who know they don't stand a single chance to even place well yet they give it their all in the olympic spirit. If they are the best from their country, or the only one, then why not give them a shot? Should only the people who have a chance at the podium compete? I don't think so, give everyone a chance and what would get in exchange are great human stories.
