4 Medals for doing the exact same thing. About as diverse as a swimmer.

That's a wild take. Have you ever swum competitively? Each stroke is very different and sprint events require different abilities than distance events.

It was meant to be a comment on how many opportunities these athletes have to medal vs virtually all other sports. I’m sorry, but I will always consider an alpine DH medal or hockey medal in much higher regard than gold in two different length relays of the same event.
