In order to get a true representation of each country's athletic skill, the Olympics should randomly select citizens to compete like it's jury duty:
Who's next on the balance beam for the US? Is it Simone Biles? Nope it's 39yo electrician, Dale. Wow he does not look confident
For most events, the country would typically hold qualifiers first to vet the people they actually send to the Olympics. Could have it be like jury selection where you are called to the qualifiers and then they pick the best people there.
