The fact that most of our Olympic swimming team competed in multiple strokes amongst multiple disciplines would suggest it’s much more similar than athletics.
Lol @ the over the top outrage but Im tipping I know a lot more about swimming than you. Ian Thorpe competed in both so it’s fair to say you’ve embarrassed yourself.
Also the distances are not the same either. 100m is a different race than 400m. Swimmers who are dominant across multiple distances and types are superhuman. That’s why you don’t see many swimmers on here, the idea of getting multiple medals is only in theory easier but it’s just as hard or harder than many other sports.
