Don’t know if this is been pointed out before, but it is kinda insane that we didn’t see a men’s 800 or women’s mile. Feels like Fina pushed the sport 5 years backwards

I just don’t know where they would have put it. It was already a pretty grueling meet. Stretching to 7 days, especially during COVID, would’ve been brutal. With all the relays…I dunno how to jam in another two very long races.

I think if they’re going to add those extra events, they need to really stiffen-up the qualifying times for the distance races. Basically push the Universality-type swimmers to shorter events and say that the 800s and 1500s are for contenders only.

what kind of weird world do we live in where the only mens relay won by the US is the 4x 200?
