2 others have already mentioned the time. But it would also allow them to travel more, and compete against the best athletes in their sport more.
That's a pretty big thing. We are seeing Canadian records being broken, but no medals. So our athletes are getting better, and faster, but are lagging behind the rest of the world.
If our athletes were able to travel more, compete against the world's best more often, we would see much better results. If you are always competing against the same people over and over again, you are not learning anything new. You may improve a little bit, but not as much as you would if you compete on the world stage more often.
