2024 WORLD AQUATIC CHAMPIONSHIPS

The 2024 World Championships have officially wrapped up in Doha, Qatar, which means it’s time to check in on our Pick ‘Em Contest to see who won the grand prize.

“Troyy” had a clutch final day with 72 points to surge past “BairnOwl” (332) by just two points in the overall standings. It was the second consecutive runner-up finish for “BairnOwl” in the Worlds Pick ‘Em Contest, but luckily for them, “Troyy” is not eligible for prizes. That means “BairnOwl” will be the recipient of the grand prize, a Speedo Tech Suit.

JLES tallied the most points on Day 8 with 74, but they are also not eligible for prizes. That left the daily prize of VANQUISHER 2.0 goggles and a Speedo shirt to _.Niki._ and Splash, who tied with 73 points apiece on Sunday.

Thank you to everyone who competed in the Pick ‘Ems. For those of you who won prizes, you will be receiving email correspondence on how to claim your prizes in the near future.

For some bonus stats, here’s a look at how predictable each event was (a perfectly picked event would be 19 points, for reference). The women’s 400 free was the easiest event to predict with an average of 12.9 points, though nobody picked it perfectly. Meanwhile, the men’s 100 fly was the toughest with just 1.8 points per entry. The men’s 50 free average was 4.1 points, but no single entrant did better than 9 points. Big shoutout to Barry Revzin for the numbers.

It’s been almost 2 weeks and I still haven’t received an email about being one of the daily prize winners. Did I miss the email (not entirely sure which email address I used to enter), or is it just a long wait?

You should receive prizes also. It’s shame that you win and don’t get the prizes. Swimswam should have prizes for people outside of North America too… swimswam is global! You should think about it for the Olympics

Troyy, why are you ineligible? Did you attempt an insurrection at SwimSwam headquarters in an effort to stop the peaceful posting of a Practice And Pancakes? If you don’t answer I’m gonna assume yes.

You have to be a resident of ‘Murica or Canada. You’re ineligible if you live outside those two countries.

Wow, 2nd again!! 🥈 So delighted to win a prize this time. I’m not a competitive swimmer but I’m still excited for the swimsuit.

Congrats to Troyy for the win! You’re one of the most astute commentators on this platform in my opinion. Your win is well-deserved.

Coming in second twice in a row is wild, especially with this meet.

I’m sure I was very lucky, but I guess the countless hours I’ve spent in the last 6 years browsing SwimSwam comments and wrecking my sleep schedule to watch swim meets is finally paying off.

Yeah…proving that you can pick races well in a normal Worlds, and then doing it again in a total crapshoot of a meet is next-level.

Lesser-known European swimmers are a weakness of mine, so the SwimSwam event previews helped a lot. Thanks to the staff for doing those; they are always an enjoyable read.

I must admit, this is a time when two silvers is better than one gold. But you were very impressive too Troyy. Meanwhile, I failed badly after the first day. Sigh.
