Wow Yanyan’s team has Qin and McKeown, and all (except Costa) have at least 1 gold medal individually. A crackin team!
Anything but 50 BR

For Braden’s swimmers in the Women’s 4×100 medley relay, I’m pretty sure 4+4+3+1 = 12, not 11

Popovici scoring 2 points is wild.
And Regan Smith >> Kaylee McKeown, according to SwimSwam.
Yeah having Regan score more than Kaylee is wild. I think they need to change the point system in the future to downplay relay points. Maybe add an extra point for gold as well.
So she’d have earned more points if she scratched the 2IM.

It seems Braden might have to slightly back off the trash talk now. He was planning on smashing them like guitars and not only did Ben beat him but everyone else as well!
Although Yanyan wasn't the greatest competitive swimmer, she learned more about the sport of swimming by being her high school swim team's manager for four years. She eventually ventured into the realm of writing and joined SwimSwam in January 2022, where she hopes to contribute to and learn more about …

Regan outscored Kaylee mainly because Kaylee got the -2 for the 2IM DQ. If that didn’t happen Kaylee would have more points.
So she’d have earned more points if she scratched the 2IM.
