BASED on the results of preliminaries and semifinals, here are the updated picks for the five finals that will be contested tonight at the Oriental Sports Center. Medals will be up for grabs in the men&#39;s 200 individual medley and 100 freestyle and in the women&#39;s 200 butterfly, 50 backstroke and 800 freestyle relay.<\/p>\n<p><b>Men&#39;s 200 individual medley<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Original Medal Picks<\/b><br \/>\nGold: Ryan Lochte<br \/>\nSilver: Michael Phelps<br \/>\nBronze: Laszlo Cseh<\/p>\n<p><b>Updated Medal Picks<\/b><br \/>\nGold: Ryan Lochte<br \/>\nSilver: Michael Phelps<br \/>\nBronze: Laszlo Cseh<br \/>\n**Staying with the original selections here and believing Lochte will break his world record, marking the first long-course standard to go down since the ban of high-tech suits at the beginning of 2010. Markus Rogan and Thiago Pereira will have something to say about the bronze medal.<\/p>\n<p><b>Men&#39;s 100  Freestyle<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Original Medal Picks<\/b><br \/>\nGold: Nathan Adrian<br \/>\nSilver: Cesar Cielo<br \/>\nBronze: Brent Hayden<\/p>\n<p><b>Updated Medal Picks<\/b><br \/>\nGold: James Magnussen<br \/>\nSilver: Nathan Adrian<br \/>\nBronze: Cesar Cielo<br \/>\n**The bout with pneumonia prevented me from including Magnussen in the original medal picks, but he&#39;s definitely the man to beat. Adrian will have to get out to a huge lead and hold off the fast-charging Australian.<\/p>\n<p><b>Women&#39;s 200 butterfly<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Original Medal Picks<\/b><br \/>\nGold: Liu Zige<br \/>\nSilver: Jiao Liuyang<br \/>\nBronze: Kathleen Hersey<\/p>\n<p><b>Updated Medal Picks<\/b><br \/>\nGold: Liu Zige<br \/>\nSilver: Jemma Lowe<br \/>\nBronze: Jiao Liuyang<br \/>\n**Honestly, I have no idea how this event is going to play out. Liu is not at her best, but still could pull out the gold medal in her best event. The two British swimmers, Lowe and Ellen Gandy, will have a say in the medal battle.<\/p>\n<p><b>Women&#39;s 50 Backstroke<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Original Medal Picks<\/b><br \/>\nGold: Aya Terakawa<br \/>\nSilver: Anastasia Zueva<br \/>\nBronze: Gao Chang<\/p>\n<p><b>Updated Medal Picks<\/b><br \/>\nGold: Anastasia Zueva<br \/>\nSilver: Aliaksandra Herasimenia<br \/>\nBronze: Gao Chang<br \/>\n**It&#39;s a 50 sprint in a stroke event without a clear-cut favorite, so this thing is wide open. Maybe Zueva will be motivated by her silver-medal finish in the 100 back, which she lost by a hundredth of a second.<\/p>\n<p><b>Women&#39;s 800  Freestyle Relay<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Original Medal Picks<\/b><br \/>\nGold: Australia<br \/>\nSilver: United States<br \/>\nBronze: China<\/p>\n<p><b>Updated Medal Picks<\/b><br \/>\nGold: United States<br \/>\nSilver: Australia<br \/>\nBronze: China<br \/>\n**Tough one to call for sure, but the sub-1:57 swims by Missy Franklin and Dagny Knutson (time trial) are reason to feel good about the United States&#39; chances. Australia will be tough, however, as Kylie Palmer didn&#39;t swim the prelim and Bronte Barratt coasted.<\/p>\n<p>Follow John Lohn on Twitter: @JohnLohn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For full Swimming World coverage of the entire 2011 FINA World Championships, including all videos and recaps, visit our Event Landing Page.
