Semi-Finals, Question for Frank

Others may know too, but semi-finals were added to the Olympic program in 2000. Would it actually be more accurate to say that they were reintroduced in 2000? This is related tothe Phelps/ Spitz comparison. I seem to recall that semi-finals were part of the Olympic program in the 70's. But evrything I read says otherwise. Does anyone know the history of semi-finals in the Olympic program.

    Don't know the full history, but yes, semi finals were re-introduced in the '99-2000 era. There were semi in the early-mid '70's and before but not sure how far back they go. Like, you, I would love to read more about the history of them.
