Yea there are some great ones and also some of the brackets barely have enough to make four. I was going to send Zach but he had a oral test he could not get out of. So he had to stay home but I am looking forward to February Canada, US Open and than Mexico Open all in three weeks, should be great.

The other thing to consider, at least when it comes to the Olympics, is the time factor. The olympics are every 4 years. It is very difficult to remain the top fighter in a division for that period of time. If a fighter were to make the Olympic team at 25 the next time they could fight in the Olympics would be when they are 29. Time, injury, etc. might prevent a fighter from competing in consecutive Olympic games; meaning the next young fighter would get the spot.
Also, and I might show my ignorance here, a country, save the host country, cannot send a full team with all weight classes. So, they are going to pick the fighter and the weight class that gives them thebest shot at winning a medal. That alone might keep a fighter out of the games.
But, all this only applies the the Olympics, which is what was referenced in the subject line.
