More importantly they added the women's 1500 and men's 800 in swimming. It made no sense that they didn't have the same lineups.

Now you can really see how much Ledecky dominates.

As far as the mixed relay, they did it at World Champs 2 years ago and it was pretty cool. Surprised that Olympics added it though.

Men and women are on the same team and competing against other mixed teams. Good looking out though bro

The mixed triathlon relay is super fast and exciting. Should be fun to watch. Honestly better than the normal event.

I mean this one should be pretty easy to win:

2 men + 2 men that identify as female.

Gold medal.

I'd be for upping the women up to the 1500, but adding the 800 for men is dumb. There's a reason the 1000 isn't an event at ncaa's, for either gender.

Until they have the 800 im relay and 800 medley relay, this mixed gender bullshite needed to stay in master's swimming.
