Two events I'd like to see

1- One event that's purely and simply R.T. (Reaction times). Men' and Women's, of course, with nothing but a start off the blocks. Not even a race to the 15m mark or the 10m mark. Just the electronic R.T. And the start would not be influenced by a competitor thinking about SDKs, entry or anything else. Do you think we might get to see anything below the 0.65s (that occasionally happened in Melbourne 2007)? 2- An 8x200 IM-Relay Yes it seems self-contradictory but here's how I see it: 4 Women and 4 Men on each (National or Club-depending on the event) team. Each of the eight swimmers swims a 200 I.M. i.e., Fly (off the blocks, of course), Back, ***, Free (so the hand-offs are always Free to Fly). The order in which the eight team-members go, would be left to the coaches (i.e., not W/M/W/M/W/M/W/M or any such like all Women followed by all Men) but purely strategic. It would be interesting to follow this 1600m as the lead(s) will change, quite a few times I surmise, during the course of those 15 plus minutes, especially if done in a World or Olympic event.

    i would like to see the 800 im. i would also like to see an OW team time trial (four swimmers start together, finish time is when the last swimmer crosses the line) it would be interesting to see the same team strategies in swimming that are employed by cyclists.
