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.
