Until 2001, editions were held every four years (approx.) and there were not 50-meter events for every stroke. So a short-distance especialist has currently up to four more opportunities to win a medal than those who swam 40 years ago. For example, in a 6-year span between 1981 and 1987 there were only two short breast stroke races (100BR: 82-86), while in the same span between 2001 and 2007 there were eight (50BR: 01-03-05-07; 100BR: 01-03-05-07).
