some of them are going to be forced to make choices just because there isn't enough time to do it all. I dont think the podium possibilities are that much greater. Maybe in some age groups, by benefit of sheer numbers, but the boys (and the girls)who decide to stick with it are usually the hardest working, most talented ones. So the competition at the top is generally phenomenal.
