Seriously though.......the point is made, don't you think?

How a simple change in distance can create an entirely new swimming discipline, but the same isn't applied to other sports? That seems dishonest, and heavily biases the Olympics towards swimming and running. Those two tasks hog 2/3 of the entire medal haul, and the fact that they allow countries to send MULTIPLE athletes to sweep said events is disingenuous.
