SPREADSHEET OF ALL ENTRIES AND SCORES
- Day 7 was a day of gold medal upsets. Only 7 entries (1%) picked Anthony Ervin to win the men’s 50 free, 11 (2%) had Maya Dirado winning the women’s 200 back, and 9 (2%) had Joseph Schooling winning the men’s 100 fly.
- The women’s 800 was the opposite. In that event 3 (1%) bold readers picked someone other than Katie Ledecky to win.
- 7 (1%) correctly predicted Boglarka Kapas‘s bronze medal in the women’s 800.
- The 3 way tie for silver in the men’s 100 fly gave 425 (85%) entries points for an event where the most popular 2nd place pick, Chad Le Clos, was chosen by only 57% of entries.
- In the 1500 39% of entries have Sun Yang, who missed the final, medaling.
I’m amused at all the comments in the other thread about how obvious it was that Schooling won… and only 9/500 people actually picked him in advance. Only 281 even picked him to medal.
Yes 2% of participants had him winning and everyone on swimswam acted like duh I saw this coming.
