	Phelps still has a few left to go. I guess he's saving the 10km marathon for 2016?

	whew, the 800m in a pool looked like an eternity on television, cant imagine what 10,000m in a lake feels like!!!

	I was amazed this list was this short. It feels like there are 50 or so swimming events...maybe because of all the heats.

	@kcostell - No, Phelps is retiring after the London 2012 Olympics.

	@dje: it's tiring!! I've done both 800m pool and 10km open water!!

	@stustustudio Not to mention, there is both men's and women's, and then 3 rounds: Heats, Semifinals, and Finals.

	@courts-I voted up your comment just to congratulate you on doing a 10 kilometer swim in open water. Like dje said, the 800m in a pool looks tiring enough.

	Could you please also accept "meter" spelled out? It took me more than minute to figure out that that was why it wasn't accepting any of my answers.

	Damn, forgot to include freestyle for the relay

	Only missed the marathon. I knew it was a big one, but after 1500, you'd think it was 2000 or 3000. But no, 10,000 is the jump that makes sense.

	I kept typing in "im" for the relay. Oops.

	good quiz, but shouldn't synchronized swimming also be included? I have no idea what the actual events are (except for the briliant SNL sketch with the mens synch of course) but it is swimming right?

	10k free should work instead of 'marathon'

	@dje In high school I did a 5000 m in the pool and I thought my legs were going to fall off by the end, I can't imagine a race 20 times longer, in a lake (or sea or ocean) with people kicking you, hitting, and pulling you under water. I really think the 10 K is the most brutal event in the Olympics.

	Maybe this quiz should accept answers that spell out "50m" as "50 meter"? Confusing.

	david6k:	Aug 7th, 2012 at 19:22 GMT		0 points
	Good quiz. Would have been MUCH harder a week ago :-) Please consider also accepting "10000m free" for marathon.

	10000m is the same thing as 10km... morons

	Some of the answers aren't working for some reason

	Anyone else try diving?
