Below are our picks for the games. All picks are based on 2014-2015 world rankings with past results only coming into consideration in a few events. All picks where two swimmers are named means that there’s no direct favourite in our eyes, and that it could go either way.

wow
great
US women’s medley relay can win.
Depends a lot on the backstroke leg. Needs to be with Bouchard or at least close to her.
Coughlin or Smoliga
Meili
Worrell
Schmitt or Coughlin
Hoping it will be Coughlin, Meili, Worrell, Schmitt..
I would agree on all picks, except one
Men 4×100 medley..While Thoman will be around 1 second faster than the Brazilian Back, the Brazilian breast will be faster on the same amount… so it is a tie at that point.
100 fly Giles Smith is around 0,2 faster than Pereira and Mendes. so a little advantage to US, but can´t see Jones and Townsend being able to keep Santana at bay. Unless Jones put something amazing, Santana will probably outsplit him a full second.
