Everyone winning a trophy is a part of FILA intentions to appease housewives who are not interested in watching people from far away evil lands win everything. Now, if USA dominated, most likely the rules would not be changed as much.

FILA doesn't have much pull with IOC because IOC can drop FILA like a bad habit. IOC gets its money from the media which is catering to housewives.

You can call me names all you want but its sort of like throwing stones at the messenger.

I read on the Russian website how Martinetti regularly gets an earful from IOC to increase appeal or be gone from Olympics.
