[quote=Anonymous]The small heats tend to be swimmers from countries without much swimming representation. They get given a spot in the Olympics to broaden country representation but often aren't that fast. By contrast Australia and the US and other countries can only have two swimmers and they must also met a qualifying standard. That is why you might see one swimmer from Lithuania but not two because they only have one swimmer who has met the qualifying standard. Typically the swimmers in the small heats aren't fast enough to meet the standard.[/quote]
