For years I have thought that mixed sex relays would be the ideal event to end a competition. Either 4x100 free or medley relay with 2 men and 2 women. Each team could organize the order as they see fit. I'm sure that it would quickly become an extremely popular event.
Masters swimming does have mixed relays. They should be in the Olympics and world championships etc. I don't think the IOC wants to add anymore swimming events though.
Yes, there is a general feeling in the IOC that there are too many events. However, I feel that this kind of relay would be so popular that the IOC would get behind it.
