also 4x50FR and 4x50Medley relays
If we get those I want a 4x200 medley relay as well.
I just assumed the women have "always" swum the 800 at the Olympics and the men the 1500, but this isn't really the case. The 800 has only been on the women's program since 1968. Before that the longest women's event was the 400! The 1500 has been on the men's program since 1904.
I think the obvious answer to David's question is fairly simple: sexism.
