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.
