3000m Freestyle and 4x400m Freestyle mixed perhaps? 

Plus obviously the 4x200m medley relays, men, women and mixed.

Surprising bronze for Canada, i thought that China would take it. Kind of depressing for the other countries that Canada wins bronze without having a decent breast/free leg.

Definitely agree that it was surprising. That being said, I believe our breaststroke issue has been fixed. Angus split a 1:06 mid during both the prelims and finals, so if she can replicate it during the Olympics (+ Oleksiak gets back into peak form) then we could challenge Australia/United States/China for gold/silver/bronze.

I wouldn't mind a mixed 4 x 200 medley relay - give the distance strokes a medley to aim at...

Nah, they'll add the 50m events first, more medals.

For full medal saturation they should just add the short course swimming events during the second week of the Olympics.

 

Followed by the 4x50 medley relays...followed by THE OMNIUM = the 8 x 50, 8 x 100 mixed medley !

Absolutely don't see that happening. USA and Australia would have to massively underperform. I think beating China will be enough of a task for Canada.

There will be a full programme swim-off between  and  for the 16th place to see who advances to the semis.

Maybe a 50/100/200/400/800/1500 free/100/200 breast/back/fly/200/400 IM mixed medley relay ...

I would give the honor of finishing 16th to New Zealand, since they won a medal (women's 400 free), unlike Spain.

Not very encouraging that only one european nation finished top 6. Quite surprising that the Netherlands was so close to Italy and that Japan finished ahead of France. Japan for sure has the worst points to medals ratio. More points than France, but 1/3 of the medals of Tunisia ...

Olympic events without an american finalist: 1 (Smith missed the men's 400 free final by 0.34 seconds)

 

Olympic events with 2 australian finalists: 9
