2012 Olympics: Swimming

Now 17 Americans have won swimming gold so far and there is a very good chance to add at least 5 more (men’s 400 MR) and maybe 4 more in the women’s relay. Nathan Adrian, Alyssa Anderson, Ricky Berens, Tyler Clary, Conor Dwyer, Missy Franklin(2), Matthew Grevers, Charlie Houchin, Ryan Lochte(2), Matthew McLean, Lauren Perdue, Michael Phelps (2), Allison Schmitt (2), Rebecca Soni, Davis Tarwater, Dana Vollmer (2), Shannon Vreeland 27 Americans won swimming gold medals and with the 9 Rob predicted in the relays plus Katie Ledecky's win in the 800 makes 27 total swimmers and that is third behind the 1984 and 1996 Olympic teams. The total number of of gold medals collected by the 27 was 41. This team might have been stronger individually than the others but had 2 relays that did not win gold and that can sometimes add 5 to 7 swimmers to the mix per relay.
