FINA probably did something indeed. It's a very bad image for the sport if someone wins all dozen events.

 

Interestingly, artistic swimming and diving are probably the only Olympic sports with 10+ medal events where a gold medal sweep is possible. Makes you wonder. :p

 

At least in diving, silver and bronze are still up for grabs and sometimes there are upsets of even the Chinese.  The same countries win all the medals in synchronized swimming at every competition for over a decade now.  It's not a good look.

with the (relatively new) FIL trend of inventing new farcical events, soon also Luge will be in the mix...:whistle:

 

and cross-country skiing was also very close last Winter...
