But that's clearly not the case with everyone being sent over.
Identify the best and support them. I'm all for that.

Again though, the problem is that some of the people you don't send will be athletes who would have been contenders with funding. Case is point: David Ford. Got his funding cut under the current system, finished 6th, would've been fourth if not for an invisible deduction. We don't know what he would've done with better funding, but he might have hit the podium. Target your funding, and you get a lot more David Fords.
