something not right here
Cycling - Track change the rules so you can only have 1 country completing in each race, surly this should happen in all of the Olympic, in the woman 100m final you had 3 Jamaican and 3 American and Jamaica won 2 medals in it....
If they bring out rule for cycling to stop GB getting 2/3 medal in each race they could do it for the Olympic. am i right or am right?

I don't know. I think the participants want to make sure they are best in the world and limiting the number of participants would be damaging. Difference in cycling is that when they all ride together it is more dangerous so limiting the number is a safety issue. Not really a safety issue in swimming, track etc where they do huge numbers of prelims and semi-finals before the final race. That isn't as practical in road racing.

indoor Cycling.. they change the rules to stop GB getting a lot of medals in it surly they should happen in swimming and running it seem unfair to me
Re: something not right here
If they did that to stop GB from getting medals, I think that is wrong. I'd hate for them to change the rules for other sports. I know a few of the us folks personally and many wouldn't get to compete at all if that were the case.

Re: something not right here
last it me around we won something likes 14 medals that golds, silvers and bronzes the most we can win this time around is 5 medals
Re: something not right here
I don't think they should limit the number of medals any country can win. It should be about the team or individual and not the country overall. If one country dominates in a sport, then they should get all the medal. Simple as that to me.
