BASED on the results of preliminaries and semifinals, here are the updated picks for the six finals that will be contested tonight at the Oriental Sports Center. Medals will be up for grabs in the men&#39;s 50 freestyle and 100 butterfly and in the women&#39;s 50 butterfly, 200 backstroke, 800 freestyle and 400 medley relay.<\/p>\n<p><b>Women&#39;s 50 Butterfly<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Original Medal Picks<\/b><br \/>\nGold: Therese Alshammar<br \/>\nSilver: Sara Sjostrom<br \/>\nBronze: Marieke Guehrer<\/p>\n<p><b>Updated Medal Picks<\/b><br \/>\nGold: Therese Alshammar<br \/>\nSilver: Sara Sjostrom<br \/>\nBronze: Inge Dekker<br \/>\n**Unless Alshammar false starts, she&#39;s going to win the gold medal. Sjostrom will be in a tight finish for the silver medal, but we&#39;ll give her the edge over the Dutchwoman.<\/p>\n<p><b>Men&#39;s 50 Freestyle<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Original Medal Picks<\/b><br \/>\nGold: Cesar Cielo<br \/>\nSilver: Fred Bousquet<br \/>\nBronze: Nathan Adrian<\/p>\n<p><b>Updated Medal Picks<\/b><br \/>\nGold: Cesar Cielo<br \/>\nSilver: Bruno Fratus<br \/>\nBronze: Nathan Adrian<br \/>\n**A gold-silver finish is looking very likely for the Brazilians. I&#39;m looking for Adrian to bounce back with a medal performance in the one-lap dash.<\/p>\n<p><b>Women&#39;s 200 backstroke<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Original Medal Picks<\/b><br \/>\nGold: Kirsty Coventry<br \/>\nSilver: Elizabeth Beisel<br \/>\nBronze: Belinda Hocking<\/p>\n<p><b>Updated Medal Picks<\/b><br \/>\nGold: Missy Franklin<br \/>\nSilver: Elizabeth Beisel<br \/>\nBronze: Belinda Hocking<br \/>\n**There&#39;s a chance Franklin will add to her already stellar meet with a world record. There&#39;s the potential for a 1-2 American finish.<\/p>\n<p><b>Men&#39;s 100 Butterfly<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Original Medal Picks<\/b><br \/>\nGold: Michael Phelps<br \/>\nSilver: Milorad Cavic<br \/>\nBronze: Laszlo Cseh<\/p>\n<p><b>Updated Medal Picks<\/b><br \/>\nGold: Michael Phelps<br \/>\nSilver: Konrad Czerniak<br \/>\nBronze: Tyler McGill<br \/>\n**The question here is how close Phelps will get to the 50-second barrier while wearing a textile suit. The race for the silver and bronze medals is up for grabs.<\/p>\n<p><b>Women&#39;s 800 Freestyle<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Original Medal Picks<\/b><br \/>\nGold: Rebecca Adlington<br \/>\nSilver: Chloe Sutton<br \/>\nBronze: Kate Ziegler<\/p>\n<p><b>Updated Medal Picks<\/b><br \/>\nGold: Lotte Friis<br \/>\nSilver: Rebecca Adlington<br \/>\nBronze: Kate Ziegler<br \/>\n**Friis looked so strong in the 1500 free and while Adlington seems to be improving as the meet progresses, she&#39;ll have a tough time prevailing.<\/p>\n<p><b>Women&#39;s 400 Medley Relay<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Original Medal Picks<\/b><br \/>\nGold: United States<br \/>\nSilver: China<br \/>\nBronze: Australia<\/p>\n<p><b>Updated Medal Picks<\/b><br \/>\nGold: United States<br \/>\nSilver: China<br \/>\nBronze: Australia<br \/>\n**The United States will go with a really tough quartet of Natalie Coughlin, Rebecca Soni, Dana Vollmer and Missy Franklin and should get to the wall first. China and the Aussies ought to have a close battle for the silver.<\/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.
