USA Swimming is shaping up nicely, considering how shitty they've been over the last 3 years. Pleasantly surprised with Kings 100 BR, and Murphy was faster than I thought he'd be in that 100 BK.
Ledecky will win the 200 FR and 800 FR for sure. Murphy has a great shot in the 200 BK. Phelps will certainly medal in the 200 FL, and Phelps and Shields are both medal contenders for the 100 FL. Phelps and Lochte will likely go 1-2 in the 200 IM. Adrian could very well upset McEvoy in the 100 FR, and both Adrian and Ervin could medal in the 50 FR (Manadou will win that by a mile). USA will win the Men's 4x200 FR and 4x100 MR handily, and the women will win the 4x200 FR and will medal in the 4x100 MR.
You Aussies have the Women's 50 and 100 FR supposedly in the bag, and Kromowidjojo will sneak in there somewhere. So could Manuel and Weitzel.
In swimming alone, USA > Aussies, and there is such inflation of medals in swimming that it could tip the balance of the total medal count.
