They could do away with all the specialized swimming strokes, honestly. If doing the Butterfly isn't the fastest way to get from one end of the pool to the other, then what's the point?
It's every bit as absurd as the Racewalking that everyone finds ridiculous.
fukk the shot put...they don't throw that rock anywhere near as far as the other shyt. Get it out of the Olympics!Some of these brits here don't realize they're on a US forum...
They'll all be gone in 8 days anyway (or toiling anonymously in the Soccer thread)![]()

Also bolt COULD run more races than just the short distance races , hell there's the Marathon, 5000m, 4x400m,high jump, 800m,200m 120 hurdle etc for him to run he doesn't choose to.

Not everyone excel in every stroke that's the point of the difference races. Phelps is just unbelievably talented
You're missing my point. Who cares who excels in a stroke that isn't the fastest way to swim?
I'm impressed by "this guy is the fastest swimmer alive over ____ distance". I'm not as impressed by "this guy is the fastest but only if everyone swims using a less efficient technique"
Then what's the point of hurdles, run walking, or steeplechase?
Hurdles and steeplechase isn't the same at all. They're still moving as fast as they can, there are just obstacles in the way.
The Racewalk is stupid for the exact same reason the Breast Stroke is stupid.





We'll have them, we'll have yours as well while we're at it, because you certainly don't know how to use themLike we smashed yall in swimming, gymnastics, basketball, soccer, judo, volleyball....etc etc....but u nikkas can have your bicycles![]()

US: 26 gold medals
