That's in the all-round - a max of three athletes per country are allowed in that contest. But only two for each apparatus. -- nm - Roger More Aug 7, 21:29 3
- We're talking about the all-around only and as Krusty mentioned that was changed in recent history and I disagree with it - ty97 Aug 7, 21:41
- The two only rule is for the all around which is what we're arguing about. It was added in 2004. -- nm - Krusty Aug 7, 21:35 1
  - Ah, then I'd say (a) that's not fair and (b) plenty of stuff in sport isn't fair, so get over it. - Roger More Aug 8, 04:44
