Sending 300+ athletes for 15 medals is too many I think.
I would say if you didn't finish in the top 20 in your sport's previous World Championships then you don't go. Exceptions could be made for someone under 21 who finished lower and could go to gain experience at a young age for future games.

Why? Not everything in the world is about winning.
Either way, it's a pretty stupid argument. I mean, Canada has funded the athletes for their training already. What possible benefit is there to saying "you're not the absolute best in the world so you can stay home while athletes from other countries who are worse than you can go"?
