Are you serious?

How the hell is random selection going to be a fair reflection of the fitness levels of different countries.

A fat, overweight Kenyan could be picked to do the 10000 metres for his country, but a slim, fit guy from America (the fattest nation in the world) could by chance be picked for his.

Fair reflection my arse.
