Contest rules and prize information

Katie Ledecky may not have won the 400 free by her usual margin, but for the purpose of pick’em, a win is a win, so the 100% of pick’em entries that picked her were correct. Ariarne Titmus was 2nd, chosen by 43% followed by Leah Smith in 3rd (42% got that right). Madeline Gough was a surprise in 4th, picked by only one person (well done Squiggles 255).

The men’s 400 free had Jack McLoughlin as a surprise winner. He was picked by only 1 person to win (good job ReAd). Favorites Mack Horton (31%) and Zane Grothe (14%) were 2nd and 3rd. Grant Shoults (6%) rounded out the top 4.

The picks were pretty split in the women’s 100 fly and Rikako Ikee (23%) emerged from the field to take an emphatic win over Kelsi Dahlia (29%) and Emma McKeon (28%). Rebecca Smith (12%) took 4th.

Chase Kalisz (88%) won the men’s 200 IM to the surprise of few. The big surprise was Mitch Larkin in 2nd (1 person, well done afoulds1984). This bumped down Kosuke Hagino (12%) and Daiya Seto (26%), messing up the large percentage of people who picked them 2nd and 3rd respectively.

The picks in the women’s 400 free relay were split 57% USA, 43% Australia for 1st and 57% Australia, 43% USA for 2nd. The 43%s won with Australia (43%) beating the USA (43%), Canada (90%), and Japan (95%).
