The first event of the night, the women’s 800 free, was won by Simona Quadarella, correctly picked by 69% of entries. Pick’em contestants did less well in the minor places. Only 4% got Anja Kesely in 2nd correct. Only 1 person out of over 200 correctly picked Anna Egorova 3rd (well done Silvia), and 3% had Sarah Koehler 4th.
The men’s 100 breast was a no doubter and everyone picked Adam Peaty to win (100%). Behind him was tougher, only 2 people got James Wilby (1%) right in 2nd. A reasonable 22% got Anton Chupkov in 3rd and 5% had Kirill Prigoda in 4th.
The women’s 100 fly was perhaps the easiest event of the meet to pick so far. 100% got Sarah Sjostrom in 1st, 45% had Svetlana Chimrova 2nd, 25% got Elena Di Liddo 3rd, and a solid 21% had Illaria Bianchi 4th.
The men’s 50 back saw the first winner of the day correctly picked by less than 50% of entries. Kliment Kolesnikov was picked by 45% to win. Favored Vladimir Morozov (2%) was 4th. Between them were Robert-Andrei Glinta (4%) and Shane Ryan (11%).
People were less confident in 50 free winner Sarah Sjostrom (78%) than in the 100 fly. Sjostrom touched out Pernille Blume (51%) by only .01. Ranomi Kromowidjojo (67%) was 3rd and Mariia Kameneva (24%) was 4th to round out the top 4.
The mixed 800 free relay saw Germany (1%) beat out favored Russia (27%) and Great Britain (12%). Hungary (18%) were 4th.

Wow, 66 points. Big score today
Hi, in yesterday’s pick ‘em day 1 post it said that my day 1 score was 43, but here it says 36 (I’m Nsgrr). Which one’s right? Just making sure I’m not missing out on that top spot due to a typo 🙂
Somehow I broke the men’s 400 free winner column between yesterday and today. Thanks for pointing out the discrepancy. Yesterday’s article was correct and today’s has been updated to reflect the correct scores.
