I'd love it to be a civic duty thing that all able bodied adults each country are eligible for. Each Olympics, a group of 100 random adults from each country are picked and sent to the Olympics.
It would be cool to see how each country compares athletically using random samples, but also would encourage everyone to stay fit. Who wants to be picked only to fail to complete a 50 meter swim on the international stage while representing your country?
- supriyo-biswas 1y agoIt’s more likely that people will be selected by the countries based on some fitness criteria that is obscured from the Olympics governance machinery so as to simply make an impression that they’re selecting random people, whereas in fact they’re not.
