***I’m doing this math all by hand. Please feel free to check it & let me know in the comments if I’ve missed anything. Thank you and enjoy!***
Xu, Fink and Harris are maybe the only ones that would have been worth picking, the others would’ve have been real tough based on lack of events and/or relay opportunities. (Sjostrom definitely being in the 100 might have made her worth it, but idk.)
Coleman started his journey in the water at age 1, and although he actually has no memory of that, something must have stuck. A Missouri native, he joined the Columbia Swim Club at age 9, where he is still remembered for his stylish dragon swim trunks. After giving up on …
I know we have absolutely no influence over this, but what would be an “ideal” Olympic program? Can we separate the W200IM and W200Bk?
What about not having the W100/200 free back to back? Get rid of Regan’s 200Bk/200Fly double. Make it easier for KD to swim the 200IM and 50 free.
What would it look like? I’m genuinely curious!
Top undrafted team:
NA: Fink (14)
AF: Jaouadi (2)
EU: Sjostrom (12)
AS: Xu (12)
OC: Harris (11)
WC: Wiffen (10)
WC: Kharun (9)
WC: Tang (8)
Total: 78, would be 3rd overall
You can do 3 points better with Yang instead of Tang as she had 11.
Xu, Fink and Harris are maybe the only ones that would have been worth picking, the others would’ve have been real tough based on lack of events and/or relay opportunities. (Sjostrom definitely being in the 100 might have made her worth it, but idk.)

Called it
We both did. Gold to us.
I’d like to dedicate my win to the women’s medley relay!
The women’s medley medal ceremony just closed out NBC’s coverage tonight, hell yeah.
Congrats Barry! Gotta love a mathematician!
