Does anyone know the difference between the two columns for the men and women? Is one for the World Champs and one for the Olympics or is it for 1 vs 2 swimmers?
The QT is the 2 for all Olympic events, and the 1 for the 50 back, 50 breast and 50 fly. (The 1 is the 8th world ranking over the given period, counting only two swimmers per country, and the 2 is the 16th.)
