I feel the same. There’s a lot wrong with the individual qualification system from this quad, not all of which is the fault of the pandemic, but in a sport where so many federations have abusive cultures, there’s something to be said for giving athletes a mechanism to bypass the worst of the politics and control. Say whatever else about it, it potentially offers an athlete the ability to keep their Olympic spot if they disclose abuse, instead of getting Becky Downie’d. We talk a lot about making federations and power structures less abusive, which is important of course, but perhaps not enough about ways to take some of their power off them.
