After a strong day 1, Scuncan Dott v2 has the lead with 85 points through two days. Steve51 had the highest scoring day so far on day 2 with 50 total points. All 42 (1 ballot was not completely filled out) entries picked World Record holder Marrit Steenbergen to win the 100 freestyle, which she did. Despite all of the entries picking Steenbergen’s win, only four picked Milou van Wijk to finish 2nd in the 100 freestyle. The biggest “surprise” of the winners over the first two days came in the 50 butterfly as Egor Kornev was only picked by seven entries.
