  • For the most part, the medal winners in the 100 are the same as the medal winners in the 200. In London: Men free: 0 medal winners in common Men back: 1 (Irie) Men ***: 0 Men fly: 2 (Phelps and le Clos) Women free: 0 Women back: 1 (Franklin) Women ***: 2 (Soni and Suzuki) Women fly: 0 That is a total of 6 in common out of a possible 24. So based solely on London I'd have to disagree with this statement. I was curious so I checked the overlap between 200/400 free and IM: Men free: 2 (Yang and Tae-Hwan) Men IM: 1 (Lochte) Women free: 2 (Schmitt and Muffat) Women IM: 1 (Shiwen) So 6 out of a possible 12. A smaller sample size but it is possible that in LCM the 200 and 400 have more in common than 100 & 200, which supports Fort's earlier claim that the 200 are more distance-friendly than sprint-friendly. It would be interesting to check the data for 50/100 free in the Olympics since the 50 free was introduced, but that's too much work for me right now. My gut feeling (which certainly might be wrong) is that 50/100 are more similar than 100/200.
