What's wrong with that?

I'm ok with 25m pool but not at the expense of 50m pool, especially when Sea games have same type events. 

World Athletics (formerly IAAF)  has had proper naming of events which should be followed. It's like calling you by your neigbours name and expecting you to respond the same way.

The cross-country is an Olympic event in cycling (mountain biking)

No it’s actually called Cross Country Olympic in multi-sports games when Cross Country Marathon is also held. That’s probably why they have it named that way

That's both really sad (this barbaric institution still being so relatively common) and really cool (her escaping from it and winning a regional gold). Who knows, it'd be cool if this is a stepping stone to good results (or even participating) in some major competitions.
