Hi all, I was recently reading the below article which listed the greatest Olympic gold winners of all time. I noticed there were 6 swimmers in the list out of 25 athletes.
Is this because there are multiple opportunities to win medals at Olympic swimming or just because the swimmers winning the medals are by far the best in their field?

Is this because there are multiple opportunities to win medals at Olympic swimming
Definitely. Maybe track should add backwards running to give their athletes as many opportunities as swimmers have. :)
All kidding aside, I think the fact swimming has four separate strokes plus IM sets it apart from any other sport and certainly adds to the medal opportunities for swimmers.
