You're contradicting facts and history.
"Defending champion does mean nothing". Come on. It means experience, mentality, skills, knowledge. It means you've been able to do it, it means basically everything.
"CNT will choose equally important on current form and results". Do you have secret insight in CNt politics? If they choosed equally on current form and results ZJK wouldn't have gone to Rio. If they choosed equally on current form and results ML would've gone to London.
You just don't look at the facts. Instead you're listening to your beliefs.
hm.. Yes, i do have insight
and yes I am listening to my belief
or maybe they should just send ZJK and ML for the next 3 olympics to come, since they all have experience to win gold
no matter who they send, there is always risk of failure
it doesn't mean what they did the previous time was correct.
This gamble is just getting more and more wider as the gaps are getting more and more narrow - partial got to do with rule change/ball change/2NOC change
being a candidate of olypmic will need to have all of the experience, mentality, skills, knowledge you list.
of course they won't send a rookie in.
FZD, XX, LSW, CM, ZYL all have never been there, are you saying that are not good enough to get the job done?
There is risk of aging player
there is risk of younger player
maybe they will send 2 old players (making it the oldest age CNT player at olympic history for them)
or maybe they will send 1 old and 1 young
