Eh, I guess it gives more depth and can rack up some bronze in sports that Americans dominate in.

But any body who didn't qualify in the top 2 in America isn't a huge threat to medal.

The bigger deal is only getting one team in team sports. USA could probably create 10 basketball teams who would medal.

Medal count should count team sports as the total number of players on the team, or at least the number who compete at a time. Something. It is idiotic that a medal in soccer or basketball (where dozens of people actually receive medals) counts the same as a medal in shot put.
