It's nice to see when a Federation or Olympic committee openly embrace their athletes and their earned Olympic spots as opposed to being stubborn with unrealistic internal qualifying criteria for no reason. The one that still comes to mind is the Swiss Olympic Committee rejecting not just one but two pairs spots in 1994 that were earned by the Monod's at 1993 Worlds. Plus Monod's missing the Olympics by one spot cause they placed 11th at Europeans instead of 10th.. One lousy spot.. That's just stupid..
