SPREADSHEET OF ALL ENTRIES AND SCORES 

  • No surprises in the men’s 200 backstroke; Ryan Murphy and Mitch Larkin were the two top picks from our readers
  • The G.O.A.T. came through again in the 200 IM, as our readers expected he would; 430 contestants (~86%) picked him to win.
  • Ryan Lochte missing out on a medal meant missed points for a lot of contestants.  470 entrants (94%) picked him to get a medal
  • Just two readers picked China’s Shun Wang to win a 200 IM medal
  • The shocker of the night was Simone Manuel and Penny Oleksiak sharing a title in the women’s 100 freestyle; just two readers picked Manuel to win, and nobody had Oleksiak winning gold (or even silver)
