Serious Question

If Olympic medals are awarded in swimming for freestyle, backstroke, butterfly and breast stroke; then why not also award medals in running for sprinting, back-pedaling, side shuffling and hopping?

Serious question.

But really with those you aren't trying to cover a given distance in the fastest amount of time. That's more of an argument for eliminating those land events w(why are land activities the basis for comparison - its kind of like "the doctor is woman" thing)or an argument for a swimming obstacle course.

This is Connors btw, and I think that was Hammond.

For every land jumping event there's a different diving event. And for every running distance there's a corresponding swimming distance. But for some reason they award medals for various swimming strokes

What is "the doctor is woman"?

If you count diving as a swimming based event, I count balance beam and floor events and bike events for running.

Your blog has always been full of shit - but when you shit on the olympics, you shit on a lot of people's hard work bro.

WHOA.....

I don't think this blog has *always* been full of shit (just in the last year - year and a half), and I don't think Cyrus is "taking a shit" on the olympics - just swimming, swimmers, swim fans, etc.

(and apparently divers too) - just read that - now maybe i get your point about taking a shit on the Olympics.

Y'all need to chill the F out.... it's just a blog! If y'all don't like it, don't read it.

Who cares if he hates the olympics? It's not like he has to love them. He doesn't have to respect the host nations, the athletes, the traditions, the commitment, and history of sport just because YOU say it's important.

So what? He hates sports. Who cares? If you care so much THEN DON'T READ HIS BLOG.

Friend of Cyrus here. He asked me to comment because he felt like this was getting out of control, which it is.

No where does he say anything that I read as HATING sports. That is absurd, and overly general.

He hates swimming and swimmers. Period. End of story. And diving. And divers. But that's it.
