Olympics will bring in new sports with a limited number of players. I heard the goal is to get rosters much smaller. If you have a slim roster of 20 players and 32 teams (16M/W) + coaches and staff that is 1,000 more people needing housing, food, etc. That's a concern but not as bad as a roster of 30-40 players with specialties. The rules changes are designed to make the game faster and less-specialized so rosters are more streamlined.

That is the argument from 2 close friends who are very active with FIL and who coach international teams.

How that affects elbow pads and other changes - not sure.
