We invite you to offer your thoughts on who is in line to win medals in the comments section!<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Commentary by David Rieder<\/i><\/p>\n<p>CHARLESTON, South Carolina, August 14. THE men\u2019s backstroke events at Pan Pacs could get interesting quickly as Americans jockey for positions in the final. USA Swimming took only three fourth-place finishers from Nationals to Pan Pacs, two of whom are coming from the men\u2019s backstroke events. Matt Grevers should be the odds-on favorite in the 100; despite having a slower time so far this year than Ryosuke Irie (52.57 to 52.75), Grevers consistently swims his best in the biggest races, as he won the gold medals at the 2012 Olympics and also at last year\u2019s Worlds. He\u2019s got more in the tank from his swim at Nationals.<\/p>\n<p>Kosuke Hagino has the fourth-best time in the world at 53.08, but he learned from Worlds that swimming so many events may not be the best idea, as he faded badly at the end of his primary event, the 400 IM. The 100 back might be an event he scratches in Australia. Other medal contenders include the best of the remaining Americans, Ryan Murphy, David Plummer, and Nick Thoman, one of whom won\u2019t even get to swim in the B-final at night. Remember that potential World Championships-qualifying swims can only come from a night swim.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Australians Mitch Larkin, Ben Treffers, and\/or Josh Beaver will be in the mix, and like the Americans, one will definitely be left out of the championship final. Look for a nice battle between the third Australian and the third American in that consolation heat.<\/p>\n<p>The 200 back features a different mix of swimmers, particularly among the Americans. Entering the meet, Irie (1:53.91), Hagino (1:54.27), and Tyler Clary (1:54.71) have the three best times in the world. Clary posted that time last week with an emotional win at U.S. Nationals. World Champion Ryan Lochte had a considerable lead at the 150, but his lack of conditioning showed following knee injuries over the past year.<\/p>\n<p>Expect Lochte to swim a smarter race at Pan Pacs in order to get back on the podium, but he will have to go through Clary and Ryan Murphy in prelims to even make the A-final. Aussies Mitch Larkin and Josh Beaver could contend for medals as well, along with Brazil\u2019s Leonardo de Deus.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>Men\u2019s backstroke medal predictions:<br \/>\n100:<br \/>\nGold:<\/b> Matt Grevers, USA<br \/>\n<b>Silver:<\/b> Ryosuke Irie, Japan<br \/>\n<b>Bronze:<\/b>David Plummer, USA<\/p>\n<p><b>200:<br \/>\nGold:<\/b> Ryosuke Irie, Japan<br \/>\n<b>Silver<\/b>: Tyler Clary, USA<br \/>\n<b>Bronze<\/b>: Ryan Lochte, USA<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The United States, Australia, and Canada all have big names for the women\u2019s 100 backstroke, but the battle for gold should come down to Emily Seebohm and Missy Franklin. Seebohm leads Franklin in the world rankings, 58.92 to 59.38, and she also has the better best time, 58.23 to 58.33. Franklin has had Seebohm\u2019s number at both the 2012 Olympics and 2013 Worlds, and I expect more of the same in Gold Coast. Franklin might not approach her American record, but I think Franklin can dip well under 59 seconds. She will have the 200 freestyle final right before it on the meet\u2019s opening night, but we\u2019ve seen Franklin pull off amazing doubles in her career many times.<\/p>\n<p>There should be a nice battle for bronze, and based on lifetime numbers, Elizabeth Pelton has the top best time with a 59.27 from 2013 Nationals. Fellow American Rachel Bootsma also swam under 1:00 in 2012, but she just edged Pelton for second at Nationals, with both swimming up in the 1:00-mid range. I\u2019d look for faster times in Australia, and I give Pelton the advantage. Australians Belinda Hocking (59.78) and Meagan Nay (59.90) both rank in the world top-ten, and Canada\u2019s Sinead Russell joins them there (59.91). Russell\u2019s teammate Brooklyn Snodgrass makes a case for a medal as well.<\/p>\n<p>All three Aussies rank ahead of Franklin in the 200 back, led by Hocking\u2019s 2:06.40, but I\u2019m not buying that. The race might be closer than last year\u2019s World Championship final, where Franklin beat Hocking by nearly two seconds, but Franklin won\u2019t be coming off a double with the 200 free like she was at Nationals, and I doubt she\u2019ll be far off her 2:04.76 from Worlds. Other Pan Pacs swimmers in the world top-ten include Nay, Seebohm, Canada\u2019s Hillary Caldwell, Japan\u2019s Sayaka Akase, and the USA\u2019s Elizabeth Beisel.<\/p>\n<p>Beisel\u2019s best time came at the Santa Clara Grand Prix in June with a 2:09.11. She slipped off the start at Nationals after entering with the top qualifying time, so she should be capable of much better at Pan Pacs. Pelton also ranks in the world top-20, with a 2:09.73 from Santa Clara. Kathleen Baker and Lisa Bratton qualified to swim the event at Pan Pacs, but the battle for the second American spot in the finals (and on next year\u2019s World Championships team) should come down to Beisel vs. Pelton.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>Women\u2019s backstroke medal predictions:<br \/>\n100:<br \/>\nGold:<\/b> Missy Franklin, USA<br \/>\n<b>Silver:<\/b> Emily Seebohm, Australia<br \/>\n<b>Bronze:<\/b> Belinda Hocking, Australia<\/p>\n<p><b>200:<br \/>\nGold:<\/b> Missy Franklin, USA<br \/>\n<b>Silver<\/b>: Belinda Hocking, Australia<br \/>\n<b>Bronze<\/b>: Elizabeth Beisel, USA<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Previous Pan Pacs medal predictions:<\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/pan-pacific-championships-picking-the-medals-in-distance-freestyle\/>400 and 800 freestyle<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/will-tom-shields-leave-pan-pacs-with-double-butterfly-gold-medal-predictions\/>100 and 200 butterfly<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/lochte-vs-phelps-vs-hagino-vs-pereira-in-200-im-at-pan-pacs-who-wins-medals\/>200 and 400 individual medley<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editorial coverage for the Pan Pacific Championships is proudly sponsored by Master Spas!
