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...

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).

      Biathlon Discussion | Qualification to Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026

      By avlar · Posted

      By the way. It looks like no AIN`s will be in biathlon by the start of the Olympics. Russians filed an appeal to CAS to get AIN statuses in biathlon. But IBU did not agree to have hearings with short procedure. So the decisons are not expected before the end of qulifying period. (FIS could do the same but its top-officials prefer to help russians be back as quick as possible).   I would like to see Dolidovich at the Games. Because she is a real refugee of the relatively high level.

      It’s honestly baffling how bad she was in 2018. Just absolutely lost her head. Real shame too because she is so gifted. I do hope Li Jianrou sends her a Christmas card every year tho, she was absolutely gifted a gold medal by Christie in 2014.
