I do agree that 2 is too little, maybe 3? so at least one country could sweep the podium.
So having the best in the world even from the same countries is more mundane then allowing other countries but inferior athletes compete?

I'm all for a feel good story but would much rather watch the best do an amazing routine then a mediocre routine from someone who benefited from a rule like that. I'm routing against the Americans for the most part since they are so favoured to win almost everything but if she was 3rd best overall behind her two teamates she should be in the final to compete.
