The gold, silver, and bronze medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games will go to the best swimmers on the day of each final race. Not necessarily the fastest - but to the best. Which swimmer will have the best race on the day that counts? These are my medal predictions for the women's races in Beijing as of 1 Aug 2008.
