The lineup is Masse Knox Liendo and MacNeil on the freestyle. 

Interesting. We'll see how Liendo is after his final. Kind of strange to have Liendo on butterfly and Maggie on freestyle, but I'm sure the numbers make sense. And if Liendo does do well in the final, he'll be hyped up.

TBH I'm surprised we didn't put Oleksiak on the freestyle leg, MacNeil did set a PB during the lead of of the 4x100m relay so maybe she can do a fast split.

Maybe you can explain this to me, @Josh

 

The site says 3.USA 4.CAN 5.AUS 6.CHN

 

But USA lost to AUS, AUS lost to CAN, and CAN lost to USA. So then shouldn't it go on total points? Canada has the most.

Because CHN, AZB and FRA all finished with 2 points with the same situation (they all beat each other). But China has the most points and finished ahead of them.

Well Canada has the most points of all the teams at 4-3 why didn’t they finish second?
