wow.
would you say the same about gymnastics?
Yes.
I don't remember where i said that but i said once that artistic gymnastics team event had more legitimacy because of how old those competitions were and the fact that it was the only events for women before the creation of individual events.
But nah. No matter how old it is, a team event in most of non team sports isn't necessary imo and unfair. Many team events were created these last years at olympics. If it isn't for more show, i don't understand why it was done.
