Why? We already have the four 200s, the 400 IM, the 400 free, the two distance free events and the open water swims. Sprinters just have five events.
50s would be fantastic. And maybe the US wouldn't focus so much on mid-D and actually win a 400 free relay.
I think it would be interesting to see 50's in the Olympics. All of a sudden the NCAA focus on shorter distances would become a strength rather than a source of complaining. And just think, if the 50 stroke events end up in NCAA's, we get to watch the traditionalists fall on their swords all over again! Everybody wins! :banana:
and actually there are five 200's :bolt:
