We are in the middle of some exciting Olympics. Therefore this something that needs to be discussed. No, its not what you all think. I'm not going to go on about why Women's Badminton should not even be an event, nor will I complain about the fact that only the minor league baseball players go to represent the US. No, what I want to know is why there are so many different strokes for swimming.
Seriously though, we all know that if two people were racing to the other side of the pool neither one of them would choose to do the butterfly to get there. Why is there even a butterfly.
You don't see the skip, crab-walk, or backwards run as events in track and field. That's what they should do for swimming. They should let the athletes decide which stroke they want to do, but the first one there and back wins regardless. That would get rid of these shenanigans. Breaststroke? I don't think so.

ha ha ha. that was funny. crab walk. ha
ha ha ha that is so funny. I say lets throw in wheel barrow and three legged racing too.
They at least shouldn't call it the butterfly. I mean, guys in speedos don't exude manliness anyway, but doing something called the butterfly is not going to get you any man-points.
I couldn't agree with you more Jon. Swimming really is just a bunch of shenanigans, foolishness, nerf ball.
