  • In London there were 302 medal events in 26 sports (39 disciplines). Aquatics (Swimming, Diving, Synchro, WP) were second only to Athletics (Track & Field) in medal events, 46 to 47. The next closest are cycling and gymnastics with 18 each. Swimming already has about 5 times more medal events than the average discipline. Why don't they just do a "Master's Special" and get split requests on all the 100 strokes finals and have that count for the 50's medals? Each 100 would be a 2-fer.
