I'm curious why the order of IM is as it is--butterfly, back, ***, then free? It doesn't seem to be the order of speed.
Also, has there been any medalist in world competitions whose "freestyle" was not front crawl (not necessarily in a medley, but maybe in just "Freestyle" competition)?

not sure why but here's a thread on stroke order in IM

Thanks. That's an interesting thread. I like the idea of letting the competitors choose the order--would be so much more fun to watch. :)
