    Sad, but how many times is that? Isn’t it a relatively new addition?

    Edit: nvm that was 40 years ago. I’m just really old. Still pretty new compared to, say, wrestling

      I feel you. Sometimes titles can be really misleading just to get that effect though, too. Last week there was an article talking about “the highest score in the history of Olympic surfing”. Sure, it was true, but. Surfing was added to the Olympics in 2020. That’s 1 Olympics ago. Stop implying so much more.
