Yehhhh, I’m starting to think the same.
All for inclusion of women versions of events Eg canoe slalom, 1500 free etc.

That mixed medley was one of the most ridiculous things I’ve seen. It was strangely entertaining, but I have no idea why that’s an event. Where do we stop? 4x 50 mixed, 4x 100 mixed etc.

I feel that way with some sports too.
If it ain’t the pinnacle of your sport, shouldn’t be included.
Eg golf, tennis.
I guess we are trying to make it world inclusive.
Idk, skateboarding, surfing and some other things have been making me think it’s losing its special ness.
