Are we in for some Olympic surprises. Are the two top US swimmers going to win or come second in all their races. Are we ready for a big surprise??
I would love to see some one new take the gold.

Are we in for some Olympic surprises. Are the two top US swimmers going to win or come second in all their races. Are we ready for a big surprise??
I would love to see some one new take the gold.Actually I'd be MASSIVELY surprised if ANY Americans even make it onto the London podium at all for a medal of ANY colour in these particular events:
M 400 Free
M 100 Free
M 200 ***
M 1500 Free
W 200 Fly
W 100 Free
W 50 Free
As for GOLD medals for Team USA, these ones would really surprise me (in addition to the aforementioned above):
M 4x100 Free
M 100 ***
M 50 Free
W 4x100 Free
W 400 Free
W 200 IM
W 800 Free
Also I don't reckon the 200 Free will be a fait accompli for Lochte - don't underestimate Agnel here, with Biederman, Park & Sun not all that far behind either!
On the women's side, should be an exciting, hard fought contest between Muffat, Schmitt & Pellegrini...with Franklin, Sjostrom & Heemskerk lurking in the wings.
AUS should give Franklin/Vollmer/Schmitt & co. a good run for their money in the 4x200.
