^^^ My thoughts exactly. There was an all usa volleyball final the other day. Ridiculous.
Although, the limitations brought in, in effect to limit the dominance of the GB team specifically, resulted in GB getting exactly the same number of medals this year as in Beijing.
Pretty much to ensure that no single nation can dominate in that way.
The number of track events is limited to ensure dominance in track cycling doesn't mean you lead the leaderboard overall just because there are more events in track cycling.
Yet USA win 32 swimming medals, 21 of which split between 4 individuals (and a couple of relays)
By comparison GB win 9 track medals split between 5 individuals (and team pursuit)
