YOG Swimming madness ......

Don't they have certified minimum qualifying times before being allowed to take part in a World sports event like the YOG?

It sort of cheapens the whole event that winning the GOLD medal is not something to be cherished.

ABSOLUTELY !!

In the 'real' olympics, all countries can send a limited number of athletes who do not have to meet qualifying requirements. This is to ensure all countries are represented at the olympics.
