I agree. It's a bit of a clusterfuck right now.
Yeah its pretty lame that Swimmers can go for so many, and there are like 25 odd medals to get. Versus the 10 in the velodrome.

They could make a 'heptathlon' event in swimming to accommodate multi-discipline guys. 5 events, one medal for beating everyone overall.
They'll change it when this generation of GB cyclists retire, so it's less embarrassing when one team nearly clean up in everything.

The last point was brilliant. A few iffy serves aside, I was really impressed by Robson.
seriously what the hell, this would have been shut down without that

Man Russia's service errors are killing them.
You just wait for the Madison.
No way...I don't think it's lame. It's just lame if we pay attention to the penis waving competition of overall medal count going on. It's rather obvious that countries that dominate the disciplines that give the most medals will have a higher tally overall, but the Olympics are supposed to be competitions between individuals/teams, not nations.

It takes a rare breed of swimmer to be able to compete in all of the different events though. If they can pull it off what is wrong with that? Instead of it being lame that swimmers can go for so many, it's actually quite awesome. I think it's lame that they can't do the same in cycling.
That's basically what the Invidual Medley is, each lap is a different type of swim. Even if they did a heptathlon they would still have to do individual medals for each type of swim, since they are so specialized. And there's no reason to stop someone from competing in each of those if they can pull it off. It's an incredibly hard feat that has only been pulled off by a select few in swimming, there's not reason to curb greatness just to slight a medal count.

Russia gave USA 7 extra points just from service errors. Wow.
US men and women haven't lost a game yet , have they?
Everyone walks.
Only in the Americas is baseball dominant.
Only in Japan/Asia is Sumo dominant.
Trade off for all the power they try to put into their service game.
They can field more countries for walking than those sports.
Apparently the problem is that it "devalues Gold medals" for people who will never see a Gold medal in person.

That would never work, dudes already swim too much for medals. Why swim more for only 1 medal?

Phelps made it look so easy that I guess it's understandable why some people don't realize how rare it is.
