Quack! Quack!
It's not an excuse, I agree Canada is head and shoulders above everyone else. I was saying there are only two teams that are close to them in terms of depth and ability and one messed up their roster and the other didn't make the final. I didn't say they would have won.
And yes I would have loved it Slovakia was in the tournament and won. That would have been awesome.
correct me if I'm wrong, but you were diminishing the qualification of the tournament as "major" because there is basically very little competition for the champion because they are extremely strong, even though they were competing against what were deemed by people in charge of each team the best (healthy) players in the world (unlike spring world championship).
Should we dismiss Simone Biles or Kaitie Ledecky because there's nobody that can challenge them? You can argue that in gymnastics the rule of maximum 2 representatives from the team, no matter how many made the top 8, 10, 16 removed other American and Russian gymnasts who maybe possibly could have kinda be close to challenging Simone... Even though nobody can touch her.
