The BBC have inadvertently invented a new swimming event.
The 4 x 200 Individual Medley Relay
It's still unclear exactly how an 'individual relay' could work logistically, but there can be no doubt that it is a cutting edge idea. Just think, a few years ago a mixed relay seemed outrageous, now mixed relays just seem like a strange afterthought at the end of a short course finals session.
After the Saville and Newsnight affairs, this new event could be exactly what the corporation needs.
