SPREADSHEET OF ALL ENTRIES AND SCORES
- No surprises in the men’s 200 backstroke; Ryan Murphy and Mitch Larkin were the two top picks from our readers
- The G.O.A.T. came through again in the 200 IM, as our readers expected he would; 430 contestants (~86%) picked him to win.
- Ryan Lochte missing out on a medal meant missed points for a lot of contestants. 470 entrants (94%) picked him to get a medal
- Just two readers picked China’s Shun Wang to win a 200 IM medal
- The shocker of the night was Simone Manuel and Penny Oleksiak sharing a title in the women’s 100 freestyle; just two readers picked Manuel to win, and nobody had Oleksiak winning gold (or even silver)
