In order to get a true representation of each country's athletic skill, the Olympics should randomly select citizens to compete like it's jury duty:

Who's next on the balance beam for the US? Is it Simone Biles? Nope it's 39yo electrician, Dale. Wow he does not look confident

I’d certainly watch that.

I would too!

Curling comes close, as the only Olympic sport that I'm aware of where some players have quick sandwich while competing.

Would professional janitors and gardeners be disqualified from being the sweeper in curling?

While they’re standing around waiting for their turn or actually while they’re doing the sweeping thing? Tennis players eat during matches. Jannik sinner used to eat carrots (hence the carota boys) coco guaff eats fruit salad, but most eat bananas at change of ends.

Honestly, it was probably the folks waiting for their turn, but it's kinda hard to tell with curling, so it was kind of amazing to watch.

It felt very "you can take the sport away from the bar, but..."
