I've read alot about that in this thread, whats that rule?

And I really hope Golf doesn't get in. Talking about that, why isn't inline speed skating in?

Basically, you're only allowed one athelete from each country to compete in each event, rather than the fastest as in every single other sport (so you can have around 5 Americans in the Athletics, but imagine if you had to choose only one, e.g. Bolt and Blake). 

It's a stupid rule, designed to limit GB success. More fool them, we won 7/10 gold, a Silver, a Bronzeand were dsq from a certain silver at least for a pointless reason.

Why and who pushed that rule? Personally I think there are too many swimming events.
