It's not like Phelps is a magical wild card in the 200 free Although I agree USA is the favourite of course, I wouldn't say they're untouchable. I'd say they have like 50-55% chance to win the gold. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Federer91 2,114 Posted June 29, 2016 #363 Share Posted June 29, 2016 So, no 100 free for Phelps after all. Those relay rules don't seem to apply to Michael Phelps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlympicsFan 776 Posted June 29, 2016 #364 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I think in all events contested so far USA could win 9 medals and 2 of them in gold: Mens 200 free: No medal (Gold in the relay) Mens 400 free: No medal Mens 100 breast: Bronze Mens 100 back: 2 medals, probably gold Mens 400 IM: Silver or bronze Womens 400 free: Gold and silver Womens 100 breast: Silver or bronze Womens 100 back: No medal Womens 100 fly: Silver or bronze Womens 400 IM: Silver or bronze Lets see what they will bring in the other events: I dont think that they will fight for a medal in womens 50/100 free, womens 200 breast, womens 200 fly or mens 1500 free. My predictions: Womens 200 free: Gold Womens 800 free: Gold and maybe bronze Womens 200 back: Maybe bronze Womens 200 breast: Maybe bronze Womens 200 fly: Maybe silver or bronze Womens 200 IM: Silver or bronze Womens 400 free relay: Maybe bronze Womens medley relay: Silver or bronze Womens 800 free relay: Gold Mens 50 free: Silver or bronze Mens 100 free: Silver or bronze Mens 1500 free: Maybe bronze Mens 100 fly: Gold Mens 200 fly: Gold Mens 200 breast: Anything is possible Mens 200 back: Silver or bronze Mens 200 IM: Gold + silver or bronze Mens 400 free relay: Anything is possible, probably bronze Mens medley relay: Gold Mens 800 free relay: Gold My prediction is that they will win about 30 medals and about 10 of them in gold.

heywoodu 13,499 Posted June 29, 2016 #365 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Cammile Adams (2nd at 200 fly at last year's world champs) got disqualified in the heats in Omaha However, she protested and she got her place in the semis back, kicking Vanessa Krause out.

I hope so... but we all know that they are like Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde when it comes down to the Olympic Games and that they don't care that much about the remaining competitions... so, I don't think that last year's results have any consequence on their minds...unfortunately... however, based on yesterday's results, I guess that in Rio they will swim at least 4 or 5 seconds faster than in Kazan, putting them well outside the reach of any other team...
