Hang on, the swimming mixed relay is brilliant!  GB always win!    Best race on the calendar!

Nation X winning an event doesn't make it a good event

I still like mixed relays and mixed teams overall. It shows nations power in the sport overall, not only in one sex.

Although it's still a bit less unwatchable than the swimming mixed medley relay  

Love that too. Best part of the YOG

Hey, I don’t like that we dominate everything and I’m all for the 50km Race Walks, but I don’t think there’s an evil plan behind the scenes to increase our medal count.

It's not necessarily evil, no.

Zango is really trying. But...

no, not in terms of choosing the competitions...just only Nike and big Pharma financing research on new doping systems (and on coverups)...

400m runners are already pampered with relays anyway. Why do they deserve to get 3 medals for running the same exact distance? Utter BS.

Swimmers are pampered with like 6 events each, so let’s not go there...

Ahh, nothing like a mixed event to bring the forum together

Let's go with mixed football. It should be fun

What does it have to do with the comment about the 4x400? I think phelps has a really good point here.

That he’s got a weird thing with gender and age, so maybe he’s not the most qualified to say what shouldn’t be on the program.
