There are positives to crossing over, I'm not denying that. But IMO there is a point where it becomes excessive, and filling lower level teams with Worlds athletes is definitely not something I am fond of. Though the latter has been decreased in recent years due to rule changes that were for the better.
Smoex has medalled before and they have been successful at other locations, never said or implied otherwise. Not sure if that part was directed to what I said.
I will say the last 4-5 years or so have been better, mostly due to changes in rules that eliminated many things they had been doing.
Not intending to put them down, they are a very talented gym, just trying to put out where people may be coming from. Not my cup of tea, but it works for some people.
Sorry, didn’t mean it directed at you. Just joining the conversation in general.
