We're supposed to be positive about that, because then also the specialists in the 50m have a chance! Much to the chagrin of the ever-ignored specialists in the 426 meters breaststroke and the 165 meters butterfly.

On a serious note: it is always miraculous to see how low-impact swimming actually is. Not many sports where it's apparently totally fine to perform at your best in two different events barely half an hour apart

I know you can't compare sports, but it's  interesting how in swimming the so called middle to long distances 400-800 m are about 4 to 9 minutes and then you have tennis, where in 4-9 minutes you can barely win a game or two, which leads to nowhere in a match
