When you do a team event at an Olympics, it's beyond the individuals involved. It's the whole country.
More Quotes from David Wallechinsky:
The U.S., in most sports, has a pure system for its Olympic selection process. First across the line, you're on the team. This is another story. Any time a sport or a federation chooses to choose its team with people voting something other than a competition that opens a lot of problems.David Wallechinsky
