This feels like you’ve lost a bit of the spirit of the Olympics. The current games prioritize, in varying levels of success, the sport and the global nature of it. People are competing to make it into the finals and all countries are accounted for.
It seems like you are prioritizing the spectator. And to do that, only finals will be shown, most sports eliminated, etc. The overwhelming majority of countries won’t even be present in this form of the Olympics.
For most people, the journey to victory is even more important than the victory itself. Otherwise, instead of having dozens of athletes having the opportunity to try and get a gold medal in sprinting, there’s just 5 people (from jamaica and the US) flying in for a 9 second race.
