I've always wondered about 800 medley relay and adding 50s of every stroke to the Olympics. I guess it depends on how many events ends up being too many events 🤷♀️
@@_inno I would agree with that. Too many medals might give certain people more chances to sweep multiple races, or it might lessen the value of winning an Olympic medal if there are so many being given out
yes they really should make one. i’ve also thought about this. i also think they should bring back 50s because they have them at worlds so why not the olympics
That would be absolutely amazing! The only thing though is that it’s really going to come down to the top four countries in the world who will be dominant. Makes it a lot harder for smaller countries to compete well. I think it would be better if it was an 800 mixed medley.
There should be an 800 medley relay in LA! It’d be awesome to see this happen with all of the new upcoming USA Swimming Olympic Champions! Rowdy would also get very hyped for this event! It’d be so exiting to see at world class meets all over the world
Oh it will very tuff for swimmers, i think that olympic races should be the same as in the past, mix medley relays, 800 hundred medley relays will be so strong for all swimmers
I have been toying with the idea of 800 IM relay. 4 swimmers cranks out 200 IM, i think it would be interesting, although likely another sphere the U.S. exclusively dominates with IM swimmer depth.
Relays are mainly for sprinters, adding the 800 medley relay would be a new opportunity for different swimmers to take part to relays. Good idea

Yes for the 50m in all strokes! And a medley relay if we can have cheese and dessert
I 100% want 50s and have for a long time. An 800 medley relay would also be very fun, yet time consuming
Biggest problem is medal inflation, ppl get too many medals lol

before the 200 medley relay? I'd vote 200 medley relay first.

I also advocate for an 800 IM, but I also had aspirations of getting out of distance freestyle
I really want them to add is 400m stroke events
I want to see individual event 50m strokes.

Id love a 4×200 IM relay (each swimmer swims a 200 IM) over a 4×200 medley relay (each swimmer swims only 1 stroke)
Just start adding the event to minor competitions!!! Watch the popularity grow!
I would love to see this!

If this happens my coach probably gonna put me in it every time 😢
We should have more sprints, more 50s
I like it
After 800 medley relay, we would add a mixed one for that and mixed 809 free relay at future competitions. Also not to mention 50s of stroke
I want a 6,000 yard medley relay!
Why not a 4x400 Free relay?
Let's see what happens
What an awesome idea. 200 medley too please! they already do it in college why not the Olympics?
800 butterfly relay
800☠️💀⚰️😂
Yes I'm more for an 800 medley relay than any kind of mixed relay and over any kind of stroke 50's
why not 4x50 MR, normally the 100 and 200 will be the same person, 50m is another world
I think men's only.
800 IM?
Prefer a 200 MR
I've done an 800 relay in training.
Only don't know how many could swim a 200 fly
Your team would be limited
almost sure all/almost all of them could swim a 200 fly, and each team usually has atleast 200 fly
I mean at a high competitive level
Like asking a sprinter to swim 1,500, they could do it, but at a level that would be competitive enough
@@user-rp7xp6xe8p true, although I think most teams have a few ppl who compete the 200 fly.
much better idea than gender mixed relay
I think spectators would think it is boring and it would become to predictable. Best freestyle wins.
