Drop the 800m and add a 2500m Freestyle

 

800m Freestyle is like a 3000m race in athletics.

There can be some cutting done in the 50-100-200-400 meters part as well..

In my opinion that could much more easily be solved by having caps with a big flag and much easier to recognize number on them

Only 50. 100-200-400 are way too prestigious.

 

Plus, timewise 50-100-200-400 in swimming is less similar than 100-200-400-800 in athletics...

I would check if there is any mad man/woman willing to take part to a 800 medley :D however, I have an idea for (mixed) relay, that is making every swimmer swim a 200 medley. This could give sense to a mixed relay, otherwise it really has no sense even for me that I like some mixed events.

More like 200-400-800-1500

 

Obviously we need a 25m freestyle event...

Since when is the 400 prestigious? :d

Let's make that an all swimming triathlon. You start doing 200 m medley in the pool, then you run a few metres and jump into the lake, where you're going for 3 km and after this part you return to the pool but this time you're doing 400 medley in fins. We could make a mixed relay out of it too.

I am unashamed, at getting nothing done.

Being a little more serious, the only swimming event I would currently like seeing added to the Olympics is the mixed open water swimming relay (4x2.5km).

      I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
