How hard is it to get in to the mens olympic team for the usa?

Question

like is there even a team or what do have to do to get in also what are other big competitions that people usually compete in like world championships and stuff

Answer 1

How do you get on the US men's Olympic team?  Simple:

1.  Be American

2. Be a man

3. Be the best at your sport (or, at least, in the top two)

How hard is it?  It depends on the competition for your sport.  If you are a 50 meter sprinter, there's going to be a lot more people wanting the same spot as you.  If you do something more obscure, you still have to be tops, but you won't be having as many others competing for the same thing.

Answer 2

you have to be... I don't know... the best?

Answer 3

From the thousands of aspiring athletes, the field usually gets narrowed down between 30 to 50 where they compete quite a while before the Olympics (MANY months to even a year ahead).  From there it is narrowed down to 4 or 5 per heat/event which will go to world qualifying.

Answer 4

What sport are you talking about?

Answer 5

Answer 6
