Hold on a sec, it was likely discovered very quickly after swimming was first introduced to the Olympics that one stroke dominated all the others and was the fastest stroke in competitive swimming.
So why would you make events where you force people to use a slower, shitter stroke, and award a medal for it?
90% of swimming events are about purposefully ignoring advances in sports science.
It would be like if track cycling had separate events where they used unicycles.

>It would be like if track cycling had separate events where they used unicycles God damn I'd watch the shit out of it
John Reyes
You can very easily make this comparison yourself and find out if that's the case
Chase Ortiz
Yeah, imagine how stupid it would be if they had track events where they put obstacles in the way to make you run slower
OH WAIT
Daniel Diaz
More like if they tie their legs together
Colton Johnson
olympic sack race when?
Justin Wilson
Just get good at swimming.
Christian Collins
Why do they have hurdles in the track and field? They have already discovered that running without having to jump every few feet is faster. Why should you be awarded a medal for it if you are going slower than the sprinters?
Ryder James
good point desu never thought about it.
Austin Lee
>its this thread again
Brayden Green
Jumping over things and running are two different requirements. Getting from one side of a pool to another isn't. It's just the same requirement accomplished in different pointless ways. A better comparison would be one with walking, which is also a pointless sport that needs to be removed.

>implying swimming event in lanes with obstacles that you had to dive beneath wouldn't be great >implying forcing someone to use a shitty technique is the same as forcing them to evade an obstacle
Julian Morales
because americans lobbied the IOC in order to inflate their medal tally
Jaxson Diaz
youre cute kid
Gavin Ramirez
Why can't Harting throw his fucking disk in 10 different ways so he can win 10 gold medals?
Ian Johnson
Where's the video link to when this cutie appears? A korean broadcast coverage?
Jacob Adams
Walking and running events are separate
Elijah Sanchez
cant wait for male swimmers
Matthew Stewart
It's not the Olympics, some kpop sluts did a sports thing
Luis Phillips

Camden Gonzalez
