Should qualifying for an Olympic event

[Karl]

on your national team boil down to one trial?

Suppose Asafa or Bolt had tripped in either event they ran in?

Shouldn't a series or a minimum number of races leading up to trials also count in the decision?

I'm not a t&f guru, so please explain why qualifying is decided on one meet's result.

Guess it equates to that "one meet" where Gold, Silver and Bronze are given. ...buck yuh toe den an yuh carna dark! So it is at 'the nationals'!

Average runner Frater won the world championship (Gatlin will be disqualified shortly) while world beater Asafa soft out all di big races. So, if is form wi dealing wid, wi know dat Asafa nuh have none when it matters. Not to mention di heap a injuries him always a get.

You would open up a big old can of worms with your method.
