Hell if the EU wants their own grouping let em. But you only get one EU team. Not one team england, one team germany, one team france etc etc.

Let's see how cheery you get when you have to root for a frency in an event because no one from england made it on the EU team.

RAHHHHHH!!!!

but congrats to the one who finally mentioned the fact of the matter; that a single EU team would have far fewer entrants qualifying for the games than 27 independent nations.

as for the Romero woman, it is of little surprise that you haven't heard of her.... why would you be given chance to marvel at the accomplishment of a rival? but she won silver in rowing and now gold in cycling. it seems she can use legs as well as her arms!

oh and my BMI is around 28

but unless such an evaluation system also includes waist:chest ratios, it is ultimately misleading and thus, bogus.

FYI rowing is leg and back intensive.

AND ok, forget BMI, whats your body fat percentage? I'd be willing to bet that the amateurs in your country, who barely make the cut to be considered for an olymipc team tryout in England would still run/swim/bike/shoot circles around you, fatty.
