olympic team predictions - how did we do?

With the trials now over, and the nominations for the British Olympic team made, how did our predictions stand up to the reality? Well the Nominated team is shown below, with those swimmers we picked higlighted in red. We got 42 of the 62 selections right, although we also picked an additional 16 swimmers, in events where we are entering either a single or no swimmers because qualifying times were not made. Not bad eh?

Congratulations to all those selected, and Good Luck for Sydney!
