Mirko can never be questioned in this forum. His opinions from now on are to be taken ipso facto. Now let's get a Beijing contest going.

KeithM can only tie Mazzy if he is right about 1500 free time, but he'll lost at tie-break Knelson can only tie Mazzy if he is right about both 50 & 1500 times, but he'll lost at tie-break. So look like I've just won a very thight race :woot:

There's no Vanderkay either, but lots of people picked him. :) I also gave the benefit of the doubt to craig68 who picked six people in the 100 and 200 frees. I assumed the first two names listed were his picks for the first two places. I was amazed how many times people missed out by a tiny margin on the bonus point for the time pick. There were several instances where the pick was off by just .01 more than what was required to get the point.

Editing is OK -- you can change your picks until the night before trials. I am not sure even the psych sheet for be conclusive - I know Phelps likes to enter every single event he is qualified for ...

RE: OLYMPIC TRIALS - Game

Former Member — Sun, 25 May 2008 11:47:31 GMT

I will play. But I'm not ready to make picks yet. I want to see the psyche sheets to see which athletes are entering which events (e.g. you picked Coughlin in the 200 but there's a good chance she won't swim it). There are also a few upcoming meets such as the Omaha Test event and the Charlotte Ultraswim. Every bit of information is helpful.

Ok, well I have to pretty much agree with your times so I can't play. Although, I think Vanderkay will beat Phelps in the 200Fr. I think both of them will be under 1:45.0. I also think Lochte has a pretty good chance of taking Micheal down in the 400IM. I agree with the time. Phelps has really been struggling with that event.
