Just wondering why you think Rin will be swimming for Japan? Haruka will be, that's certain from the promos, but in Ep12 of ES Rin actually says, "Australia was always the end game for me." He also tells Haru that his old coach from Australia asked him to come back to join the team (that would be Australia's team, logically). Moreover, knowing how dramatic a standoff between Haru and Rin would be at the Olympics, I can def see KyoAni putting them at odds by putting them on different National teams. And I doubt that Makoto, Rei and Nagisa won't be close by cheering their friend on and interacting with him. It will be summer, after all. Guess we'll just have to wait and see what actually happens.
