I typed in Murphy 3 times before I accepted he wasn’t on it. Weirdly the only backstroker with Olympic and World gold in the last 10 years is Grevers.
100
99 ugh…could not remember who won the 50 breast in 11.
Just 88. Somehow managed to fail to name a single 50 back winner.
95/100
Missed on Ning, Sprenger, Wellbrock, Proud and Silva.
99/100 (though I didn’t remember the 100 back tie in 2011 it just gave it to me when I typed in Lacourt for the 50 back). I didn’t get Silva.
Why do I know this, because swimming is awesome that’s why I have no regrets.
Let it be known that chad le clos start is on par if not better than dressels but no one ever notices
Rowdy?
Had a minor shock when I typed in Phelps first thing, expected to see my score rocket up, but only got to 2/100…
Makes perfect sense of course, he only swam in one of these Worlds, and Lochte had the better of him, but still a surprise nonetheless.
