Has the “Seller of the Century” entered?
Don’t like the change of it being listed in event order rather than chronological ngl
Sick prizes!
Medal tallies shaping up to likely be:
Tier 1: USA
Tier 2: CHN, AUS, CAN in some order
Tier 3: ITA, FRA, GER, GBR, NAB in some order
Feel like we may see quite a few smaller swimming nations not on this list rack up 1 or 2 men’s medals each.
The women’s events may largely be swept by Tiers 1&2.
Good luck everyone!
If past form is any indication I’ll go well one day and then fall right back down the rankings 😂.
