Jayden Cooper
gotta add hurdles in there too
Grayson Barnes
Why are there events for going the same distance more slowly? For track, there is 100m. Point A to Point B as fast as possible. In swimming, there is 100m Freestyle and three other events at the same distance to see who can go slower faster.
For track, the equivalent would be some shit like 100m sprint, 100m side shuffle, 100m backwards sprint, 100m no arms anime style
Adam Phillips
You forgot the 800 m freestyle.
Julian Miller
Forgot walking and steeple chase.
Jeremiah Sanders
They're engineering the types of races to suit America too.No 50m breaststroke so ENGLAND'S BRAVE ADAM PEATY is blocked from smashing the WR again and bringing another Gold home.
Adrian Jones
t. mid-twenties and never learned how to swim
Xavier Russell
You need to go back
Nathan Nelson
Malaysia BOLEH
Tyler Ward
He's just a nignog that's pissed freestyle doesn't involve spitting hot fire.
Henry Flores
the different running distances all use the same technique, swimming is literally 5 different techniques to swim the same distance.
Thomas Jenkins
Like anyone watches women's sport lels
James Cox
Are you Mexican?
Mason Bell
The strokes have different applications. The front crawl is the fastest but breaststroke is most energy efficient and much more applicaple to real world situations. You wouldn't last lost doing front crawl with a clothes, a heavy bag and shoes a few miles off a coast. Idk about backstroke, maybe if you were carrying someone or some shit. The butterfly is complete wank, though.
Aaron Sullivan
this
Carter White
you mean like who could run the fastest while jumping over hurdles or jumping into a puddle?? and theres 4 different events for who can throw something the furthest
Oliver Anderson
>front crawl with clothes, a heavy bag and shoes a few miles off a coast >a heavy bag
its funny how the worlds greatest swimmers are matched by the old man officials walking next to the pool
all that work for that
Brody Wright
wrong it's one of the oldest, in fact
Michael Sanchez
its funny how the worlds fastest sprinters are matched by a 50cc scooter. all that work for that.
Bentley Stewart
Bolt would outrun a scooter over 100 metres easily
Zachary Nguyen
Walking is more energy efficient than running. Brb 100m walk Would prefer that than a 50km walk actually...
Thomas Jackson
ok i'll bring an 80cc for the 100m then.
Levi Roberts
shut up, we're winning medals
Carter Turner
KYS Walkbro.
Christopher Gutierrez
are you a faggot
Ryder Parker
You can't compare the stupid amounts of swimming to the running because the different lengths are different events in their own right, usain bolt would be fucked at a marathon whereas phelps could enter every swimming event and not have a problem
It's like if for every length of running you included a completely seperate event for running like a crab, running with your arms behind your back like sonic the hedgehog and running while screaming
Logan Roberts
kek
Ayden James
Reminder that in 2008, Bolt was the first person ever to hold the 100 and 200 record at the same time. Different distances in running might as well be different sports, as they require such different kinds of athlete. Swimming is clearly a different case.
Jeremiah Morales
I fucking hate walking but it's the equivalent of breast stroke
Carson Allen
A fighter jet would beat a Ferrari over a km. All the effort into building a Ferrari for nothing
Noah Williams
MAN WHO DOESN'T EVEN CARE ABOUT SWIMMING WINS OLYMPIC GOLD IN MARQUEE SWIMMING EVENT
>THE CITY OF SWIMMING
James Myers
Now that he's achieved the highest award at the highest level he should move on to afl for the dollaz
Carter Peterson
Can a big strong american explain the "black people don't swim" thing to me. Why don't blacks swim?
Ian Robinson
they sink their bones are dense
Nicholas Rogers
they probably will at which point the only events I'll be watching are horsey and the velodrome shit.
Brandon Diaz
You have a point, but I would still argue that marathon running and 100m sprint are different techniques
Nicholas Ward
Cultural thing. Some argue it has to do with slavery and trade ships but the reality is: No dad to teach, kid doesn't learn, kid grows up to be (rightfully so) afraid of water and drowning. Repeat. And the mother is useless because black women cannot let their """hair"" (read: $200 perms and weaves aka half a month's welfare) touch water or they are ruined.
Plus why waste time swimming when Basketball?
Alexander Perry
I would have thought that black people would also excel at bicycle pursuits.
Parker Hill
Anything that isn't freestyle should go. Leave 4-5 freestyle events and 1 relay, drop the rest.
Jacob Edwards
You don't really believe that do you user? It's the most retarded meme of an excuse out there.
Julian Peterson
This. They also tend to have long legs and short torso which isn't good for swimming. Look at phelps. It's also the reason Asians can swim
Jayden Ortiz
Take your american proxy off britbong
Ethan Torres
They (some white Brits) tried to get Kenyans to do it. Hard to create a sporting culture from nothing, even if the talent pool is there.
Nicholas Reyes
t. Jamal
just because you can't swim doesn't mean its not a sport
all strokes are contemplated all distances except 50m are contemplated
Jaxson Green
Ya, but athletes don¿t compete in all of these
In swimming you can pretty much participate in all these besides the open waters one
Julian Sanders
Without so many swimming events USA will have a hard time keeping the first spot and Australia will become irrelevant
Caleb Gonzalez
>100m Natuto
Fuck, black weebs time to shine.
Jonathan Diaz
Ban them all Only keep equestrian disciplines
Jeremiah Campbell
can we have a 100m hurdled swim please?
Sebastian Campbell
ooo what if instead of going over the hurdle in the water they have to dive a couple feet under it while racing
Joshua Murphy
Different strokes are retarded, it should simply be about the person that can swim/run/whatever the fastest. We dont have shit like reversed cycling or arm cycling do we? Just keep the freestyle shit.
Only allowed exception to this is race walking, because its memeworthy.
Jeremiah Howard
I never knew just how many drowners there were here
Isaiah Johnson
And all this for men and women? Jesus
Ryder Hernandez
They should add Swedish relay too tbqhwyfam
Henry Gomez
sly stone said it best
"different strokes! for different folks!"
Adrian Ramirez
The main objection to swimming is that a single athlete like Phelps or Spitz can clean up across half a dozen or more different events. The only other sport where people come close is gymnastics, but otherwise the largest individual medal haul in the modern olympics is 3 golds in cycling. Runners are only ever competitive in 2 distances. Even if they kept the different strokes, swimming ought to have half the number of distances.
Anyway, they can't do that for two reasons. Firstly, the Americans rely on the swimming to stay competitive, without it they might come third in the medal table (take away swimming and the US only beat the UK by 1 gold in 2012), and secondly, the pool is one of the most expensive venues to construct and operate, they've got to get their money's worth.
Chase Foster
Times would actually improve. Most elite swimmers are faster fully submerged.
Josiah Kelly
There is literally no reason for breaststroke, butterfly or backstroke to exist.
If you're swimming for your life you'd be swimming freestyle and that's the only one that matters.
The others solely exist to pad the USA and Australia's medal count.
Prove me wrong.
Jaxon Wood
>phelps could enter every swimming event and not have a problem
But thats not true
Anthony Ramirez
And add motorsports
Landon Johnson
Breaststroke is the best if you're trying to survive in open water as it's easy to keep your head out
Andrew Torres
There's a reason though. Running is the only way very poor countries can win medals so they added all these.
Xavier King
moedal count should be compared not per ccapita but per sport. because if a nation gets loads of medals in a singe sport that has a lot of events that doesn't mean they are good at sports, just that they are favored by the IOC. Imagine if ping pong gave out 30 medals.
so we should compare the nations that get medals in different sports
Daniel Price
> Why the FUCK do we need so many of these """""" events """""""
because americans are good at it
Aaron Baker
and it's also why they're good at running
Kevin Allen
Go back to Mexico you fucking parasite.
Jaxson Barnes
lets be honest here lads, the only events that matter are freestyle
Nathan Ross
This
Tyler Bailey
It's easier to float and keep your mouth and nose above water with the backstroke.
Grayson Green
>Brits actually believe this
David Miller
Romansergio such a character
Mason Moore
Just removing butterfly would help.
William Foster
But I like watching 3D Free!
Cameron Jackson
The whole big deal about Phelps that it doesn't happen every often, that's why he is the GOAT (and Spitz was the former GOAT). Butthurt can't swim gud nations need to stop bawwwing. America has a very strong swim program and that's why we can produce every good swimmers.
TL;DR: git gud or STFU.
Logan Kelly
Few public pools in poor black neighborhoods and no backyard pools in poor black neighborhoods. Swimming lessons cost money, walking to the courts to play ball is free
Jacob Long
nah, that's only really off the wall because they're really good at conserving momentum. it wouldn't be faster if they had to surface and re-submerge, except in a few very extreme cases.
