4x100 Free
1. Netherlands (evens)
2. Australia (13/2)
3. USA (9/4)
Netherlands should be too strong in this with their star studded line-up. Australia have fantastic strength in depth, they just need to have a swimmer or two capable of 52 high/53 low before they get to the Dutch level. USA has great depth too, but like Australia lack the star power, maybe Missy Frankin can deliver that but I can't see it being enough.
4x200 Free
1. USA (4/6)
2. Australia (11/4)
3. France (25/1)
USA and Australia wil be a great tussle and before Allison Schmitt's rapid times at US Trials I would have given the slight edge to the Aussies. As it currently stands, Schmitt and Franklin together on the same team should be enough for gold. France have good depth and Camille Muffat to lead the team.
4x100 Medley
1. USA (2/11)
2. Australia (14/1)
3. China (15/2)
USA all the way in this one and the world record will be under threat. Australia and China will have their own battle, with AUS just shading it. Japan will also be in the mix alongside Russia.
