Well ever since I aged up from 12 to 13 (which was a while ago), I have always wondered why there is no 100 IM for kids who are 13 and over, at least for short course (Yards) season (you can't really do a 100 IM in a LCM pool >.>). While there are some meets where you can do it, it isn't like a state event or anything. It seems like USA swimming is the only team that doesn't really allow it in such a way. I have looked at info on other countries and their swim teams and they seem to do it, as a state (province for other countries....) and above event even.
Sort of like how women play best of three sets in tennis and men do best of five in all the major tournaments.
This is another outrage, in my opinion. I think it might stem back to the Chris Everett era where women tended to have extremely long baseline rallies and men tended to serve, volley, point over.
But now you get these matches that last 5 hours for men and 37 minutes for women.
Absurd!
