wait what happens when they let efimova swim. id put her in at least one of those podiums. specially the 200
Really sad that this is only for americans. There are a lot of europe readers in Swimswam.
Toobad – you’re certainly welcome to play and compete for bragging rights. The limitation on winning prizes is simply a cost/logistics/tax/law issue. Sending prizes outside of North America from a company headquartered here by a sponsor based here becomes too cumbersome to be feasible. Hope that makes sense.
i’ll join in with my horrible picks, too!
will i also have a chance to make horrible time picks as well?
I would love a tyr advictor. But I don’t qualify. C’MON, 17 AND YOUNGER’S RIGHTS MATTER.
Just enter using your parents info
-_-
I have the most homer-ish picks ever.
And aww, Grevers.
I’m actually going to try now because the prize is actually worth winning!
let the horrible picks by me begin!!!
