Hello and welcome to the Aquatics Centre right in the middle of Queen

:00:33.:00:38.

Elizabeth Olympic Park, it looks like a shiny armadillo, but trust

:00:39.:00:42.

me, it is a fantastic host for the European Championships. Day two of

:00:43.:00:47.

the swimming competition, Great Britain has one medal in the bag,

:00:48.:00:51.

courtesy of Hannah Miley, a silver in the 400 metres individual medley.

:00:52.:00:56.

If things go well, we could have fired by the end of the night, here

:00:57.:01:02.

is what is coming. -- we could have five. He is a world champion, he

:01:03.:01:06.

holds the world record, and he has been fasted this week, will there be

:01:07.:01:11.

more gold for Adam Peaty? What has Ben done to make himself proud? He

:01:12.:01:16.

is in the final of the 50 metres fly. And Southport's Pinus has seven

:01:17.:01:21.

European golds to her name, can this be number eight? -- finest. She has

:01:22.:01:26.

got eight, which is impressive, but be number eight? -- finest. She has

:01:27.:01:32.

this guy has got 11 European gold titles, Mark Foster, ladies

:01:33.:01:35.

gentlemen. She has got nothing on me, then? One European title but

:01:36.:01:43.

four Olympic medals, Becky Adlington is also with us through the

:01:44.:01:48.

competition. One guy who is all about Rio is Britain's hottest

:01:49.:01:50.

swimming property, Adam Peaty. Adam Peaty is a very, very rare

:01:51.:02:13.

athlete. He is one of British swimming's greatest ever. He is a

:02:14.:02:16.

privilege to be able to just watch him compete, just to be able to say

:02:17.:02:23.

that I know him. The months before the world record in April, I knew he

:02:24.:02:27.

was capable of doing something quite insane. Goodness me, he wins the

:02:28.:02:33.

gold! So pleased for the little lad I had coached from the age of 14,

:02:34.:02:37.

with the bad haircut. It was a special moment for me. The pressure

:02:38.:02:43.

was on him when he went to the World Championships. He was the number

:02:44.:02:46.

one, he had broken the world record, he was now the guy to watch. The 50

:02:47.:02:53.

metres breaststroke, just insane. Very well at this Peaty... He swam

:02:54.:03:02.

his perfect race. That was certainly a crowd pleaser. What a superstar! I

:03:03.:03:07.

mean, the hundred metres, from a coaching point of view, that was not

:03:08.:03:12.

easy to watch. This is a very big lead... And nail-biting stuff, I was

:03:13.:03:18.

in tears, cheering, screaming, thinking, he is not going to do it!

:03:19.:03:23.

And then he does it. Peaty has got it on the very last stroke! For him

:03:24.:03:30.

to cope with the pressure in his first World Championships, at the

:03:31.:03:34.

age of just 20, that is when he became a man for me.

:03:35.:03:39.

That is when he became a man for a lot of people, just look at this CV!

:03:40.:03:57.

We are moments away from the 100 metres breaststroke final for the

:03:58.:04:03.

European Championships, we have just been watching the guys preparing,

:04:04.:04:08.

Adam Peaty and Ross Murdoch, you love that shot, you can see how

:04:09.:04:12.

people are preparing, what is happening at that moment? For people

:04:13.:04:16.

who do not know what the call room is at home, obviously all the

:04:17.:04:20.

athletes get into a room, there is nobody else, no coaches, just you

:04:21.:04:24.

staring at your competitors, and Adam was the only one that was

:04:25.:04:28.

standing up. I do not know whether it was tactical, but it was really

:04:29.:04:32.

interesting to see, the rest of them were cool and calm. He was walking

:04:33.:04:38.

around, like, yeah, I have got this. You see that in athletics, some of

:04:39.:04:43.

the guys take their tops off, I have got the muscles, I have done the

:04:44.:04:47.

work. It is the last opportunity we get to stare each other down,

:04:48.:04:55.

because behind the block, it is you, the water and the wall. In the call

:04:56.:04:58.

room, if you want to stand and look big... When I got nervous, I got

:04:59.:05:03.

chatty, like now! I would talk to my competitors, they are going, go

:05:04.:05:08.

away. I was like, no, what are you having for supper? It made me

:05:09.:05:13.

relaxed, but it wound up. Some people have headphones on, heads

:05:14.:05:17.

down, not making eye contact. Adam is clearly up for it. What do you

:05:18.:05:22.

think is going to happen? I would love to see both at and Ross

:05:23.:05:27.

Murdoch, everyone talks about Adam, but Ross put in a great performance,

:05:28.:05:31.

I would like to see both of them on the podium, and I think they will

:05:32.:05:36.

both boast some really fast times. Is it fair to say that Ross has

:05:37.:05:40.

sometimes triumphed when he is not the favourite? We saw that in the

:05:41.:05:43.

Commonwealth Games. Let's see what happens in the men's 100 metres

:05:44.:05:45.

breaststroke. COMMENTATOR: The final of the men's

:05:46.:05:58.

100 metres breast row, and in four and five, the fastest two qualifies,

:05:59.:06:06.

the fastest British swimmers in history, Adam Peaty in four, Ross

:06:07.:06:13.

Murdoch in five. Well, they were introduced from slowest to fastest

:06:14.:06:20.

into this final, and here is Yannick Kaeser of Switzerland, his first

:06:21.:06:23.

major breaststroke final. What a final it must be, to come in and

:06:24.:06:28.

swim against the world champion, the defending 50 metres breast row

:06:29.:06:33.

champion at the Europeans and the defending 100 metres champion. Karen

:06:34.:06:36.

Pickering, for these guys, really exciting to be in the same race as

:06:37.:06:41.

Adam Peaty. I guess, for some of those who are a bit older than him,

:06:42.:06:45.

it must be frustrating, seeing the youngster coming through. 26, 28

:06:46.:06:52.

years old in this race, and Peaty and Murdoch are 21 and 22. What are

:06:53.:06:59.

these young guys doing?! And what about the two British guys? What are

:07:00.:07:05.

they thinking, medals all times? Adam has got to be thinking about

:07:06.:07:10.

times, how fast he can go at this stage in the season, how much can he

:07:11.:07:13.

shake up the rest of the world, who are going to be watching him. His

:07:14.:07:17.

rivals, the Australians, the Americans, they will be watching for

:07:18.:07:22.

the times he can post, not fully prepared. They will be looking to

:07:23.:07:27.

see what he can do. They will want to stir things up. Giedrius Titenis

:07:28.:07:34.

of Lithuania, well, he can certainly be in the medals, and I wonder

:07:35.:07:41.

whether he could be a spoiler, the third fastest qualifier. Ross

:07:42.:07:44.

Murdoch qualified second fastest, brilliant Commonwealth Games, he won

:07:45.:07:49.

gold there, silver at the World Championships in the 100 breast

:07:50.:08:00.

rope. And Adam Peaty, the defending champion, world champion,

:08:01.:08:07.

Commonwealth champion and this is a stepping stone to Rio, and what a

:08:08.:08:18.

great opportunity he has two said a third best time any 100 metres

:08:19.:08:23.

breaststroke. He has been so consistent, looked unbeatable. To

:08:24.:08:26.

walk out to a reception like that, your home country, it must feel so

:08:27.:08:31.

good. He likes to smack his chest hard before he races, get himself

:08:32.:08:36.

pumped up. Ross looks calm, he looks ready, exactly what he has got to

:08:37.:08:41.

do, can he possibly do anything, though, to challenge Adam Peaty?

:08:42.:08:43.

Ross, I am Murdoch in the white hat, Adam Peaty

:08:44.:09:00.

in the blue hat, the world record-holder, the

:09:01.:09:07.

in the blue hat, the world European Championships. Well, a very

:09:08.:09:10.

good reaction, really good reaction from Peaty in

:09:11.:09:13.

good reaction, really good reaction Murdoch, but the best from Toniato

:09:14.:09:19.

in two, but Peaty starting to get into his stride. The weakest part of

:09:20.:09:24.

his event is the start, but as soon as he is into his stroke, look at

:09:25.:09:28.

the power that he has, nobody is faster over 50 metres breaststroke,

:09:29.:09:33.

and he is good at 200 as well, so he finishes strong. Andrea Toniato

:09:34.:09:38.

trying to go with him, they must know it is the only chance they have

:09:39.:09:43.

to get close to Peaty. He is starting to edge away. Ross Murdoch

:09:44.:09:45.

has two uses 200 strength to starting to edge away. Ross Murdoch

:09:46.:09:51.

back at these swimmers. He is only 0.2 off his world record split, he

:09:52.:09:55.

has been doing an awful lot of training. He is swimming away from

:09:56.:09:57.

Titenis, Murdoch is training. He is swimming away from

:09:58.:10:00.

he get silver? training. He is swimming away from

:10:01.:10:03.

wonderful gold training. He is swimming away from

:10:04.:10:08.

he gets the gold, training. He is swimming away from

:10:09.:10:12.

swim, gold and silver training. He is swimming away from

:10:13.:10:15.

Ross Murdoch, the Scottish champion, the Scottish record-holder, as just

:10:16.:10:20.

stolen the silver medal inside the last 25. What a great swim for Great

:10:21.:10:25.

Britain, Peaty, the gold medallist, Murdoch, the silver medallist, 1-2

:10:26.:10:34.

for Great Britain. Peaty gets up on his stroke, but by the time the guts

:10:35.:10:39.

to the 50 metre mark, he was a head. The underwater work, how far he was

:10:40.:10:44.

ahead in those closing stages! Murdoch using that 200 strength he

:10:45.:10:48.

has to finish so well. Oh, big glide from Ross. So Adam Peaty wins, a

:10:49.:10:57.

time of 58.3 is right on the old world record. What

:10:58.:11:07.

time of 58.3 is right on the old Unbelievable. So a unrested,

:11:08.:11:09.

unshaved Adam Peaty wins the European title, 58.3, a 1- to for

:11:10.:11:16.

Great Britain, brilliant swim by Ross Murdoch to get the silver.

:11:17.:11:20.

Great to see him get progressively faster through the heats, semifinal

:11:21.:11:25.

and final, absolute perfection to be doing that, such great preparation

:11:26.:11:28.

for the Olympic Games. Great swim from Peaty.

:11:29.:11:34.

Two very happy boys in the pool, and two very happy commentators, you

:11:35.:11:37.

perforated my eardrums! How impressed were you by the time?

:11:38.:11:42.

Seriously impressive, to be posting that three months out from the

:11:43.:11:49.

Olympic Games should give him an amazing amount of confidence, just

:11:50.:11:51.

incredible. And for Ross as well, to get the silver medal, he really

:11:52.:11:54.

showed his back end strength there. You have to look at Ross, number

:11:55.:12:01.

three in the world, so for Adam to put a second and a half between him

:12:02.:12:05.

and the others, his start was not the best, but it was decent, it was

:12:06.:12:09.

good, and it helps when he lies a little bit more under the water.

:12:10.:12:17.

Cameron van der Burgh, he is a better starter, but that is the sort

:12:18.:12:21.

of time that will win the Olympics. To say hard training, I do not think

:12:22.:12:27.

people will say, it is not a world record, but he is not rested, he is

:12:28.:12:33.

not shaved down, he is hurting, training really hard, so to post

:12:34.:12:37.

that time should give him a massive boost. We enjoyed it, let's see if

:12:38.:12:43.

he did with Sharron. Many congratulations, getting faster

:12:44.:12:46.

from the heats to the semifinal to the final, a hell of a message to

:12:47.:12:51.

everyone in Rio. It is only half of the job, but I am still in hard

:12:52.:12:56.

training, you cannot swim slowly in an arena like this with a crowd like

:12:57.:13:01.

that. Amazing support, one of the best races I have ever had in terms

:13:02.:13:06.

of the competition with Ross, the GB support, it is great. I know you

:13:07.:13:10.

have got a relay, Imbeau-Dulac you go, then concentrate on Ross, but

:13:11.:13:15.

many congratulations. That I am going to let you go. You did not

:13:16.:13:20.

give up until the last stroke. Even on the last stroke, I did not give

:13:21.:13:23.

up, you have to fight for every single metre, they are on your

:13:24.:13:27.

shoulder the whole way, massive shout to everyone in the stands and

:13:28.:13:31.

watching at home. We cannot do much without their support. There was

:13:32.:13:35.

talk that you might surprise everybody, like at the Commonwealth

:13:36.:13:39.

Games, but he is a tough competitor. A tough guy to race, always race

:13:40.:13:44.

ready, regardless of his state, but it is great for me, it means I have

:13:45.:13:50.

to up my game. Breaststroke is in the best place, we are going to be

:13:51.:13:55.

leaving so much of the world behind, especially in the 200. I know, I did

:13:56.:13:59.

not make it to the 200, but Jamieson missed out as well, a tough job to

:14:00.:14:04.

make that team! Silver medal tonight, many congratulations. Thank

:14:05.:14:06.

you very much. Two British swimmers in five and

:14:07.:14:20.

six, Chloe Tutton and Molly Renshaw, they have a super chance of making

:14:21.:14:29.

the final. So in five is Chloe Tutton, and in six is Molly Renshaw.

:14:30.:14:34.

And Renshaw right on the cut off after the heats. Lau could be in

:14:35.:14:40.

four, the European short-course champion.

:14:41.:14:50.

Renshaw in six. What are your Chloe Tutton is having. -- what a year.

:14:51.:15:01.

She was surprised to make the team and now she finds herself in the

:15:02.:15:06.

centre of the pool. A great chance of making it to the final. These

:15:07.:15:10.

girls have some work to do. Both are pretty good at the 200 breaststroke,

:15:11.:15:15.

so they can finish strong. They are going to have to put some work in,

:15:16.:15:21.

and build up some speed in front of their rivals. This is when they have

:15:22.:15:25.

to dig deep, keeping the stroke long. They don't want to start

:15:26.:15:29.

punishing the water and rushing their stroke. They have the time it

:15:30.:15:32.

to perfection, the smooth and strong. Great news for the Brits,

:15:33.:15:39.

because they are in great shape. Fiona Doyle of Ireland also here, up

:15:40.:15:44.

in seven. In a very good position. Chloe Tutton, she gets the finish.

:15:45.:15:54.

67 foot .6, a lifetime best for her. -- 60 7.6. And APB for Molly

:15:55.:16:00.

Renshaw. Surely they are going through to the final? They have put

:16:01.:16:05.

themselves into a great position. Really writing that wave, making the

:16:06.:16:09.

Olympic team. What an exciting summer they have a head. A good

:16:10.:16:16.

start from them. But they are both youngsters, 19 and 20, but they are

:16:17.:16:21.

able to carve up the first 100 and use their strength in the second 50

:16:22.:16:26.

metres to perfection. Timed it well. A bit of a stretch from Molly. Well

:16:27.:16:37.

done, girls. Chloe Tutton wins, with Molly Renshaw in third, and Fiona

:16:38.:16:41.

Doyle in fourth. Ruta Meilutyte, the fastest

:16:42.:16:57.

qualifier in to this second semifinal. Sophie Hansen goes in

:16:58.:17:07.

lane two for Sweden. The 17-year-old, what a great experience

:17:08.:17:18.

that would be for her. And Luthersdottir from Iceland in lane

:17:19.:17:27.

three. Many people remember her swim at London, 15-year-old winning that

:17:28.:17:30.

title. But since then she has had her ups and downs. Last year she

:17:31.:17:35.

broke her elbow falling off a bike on the way to morning training and

:17:36.:17:38.

it has taken three months to come back with that. It would have broken

:17:39.:17:48.

a lot of athletes. The boring rehab. But if anything she has come back

:17:49.:17:51.

tougher and stronger, and more determined. That impresses me, when

:17:52.:17:58.

people can come back. And look at that, she is a strong swimmer.

:17:59.:18:03.

Cheers. And we were talking to coach just before the race. She has only

:18:04.:18:05.

really come for this. Two days, just before the race. She has only

:18:06.:18:08.

then she's going back to Plymouth. She looks very strong. The Olympic

:18:09.:18:36.

champion in four, Ruta Meilutyte. And a great start. If you stop the

:18:37.:18:41.

race there, she has probably already won by 0.3 seconds. Men and women, I

:18:42.:18:48.

do not know anyone who starts better than Ruta Meilutyte. She does not

:18:49.:18:57.

give away any advantage. A great stroke rates, quicker than we saw in

:18:58.:19:07.

the heats this morning, 30.8 at the halfway mark. That is fast swimming.

:19:08.:19:16.

But she makes it look easy, even though underwater she will be

:19:17.:19:17.

working so hard. And she is a full though underwater she will be

:19:18.:19:22.

second faster than she was in the heats this morning, going out

:19:23.:19:27.

comfortable. But look at this, she has been working in the gym very

:19:28.:19:29.

hard. When her elbow was broken, she has been working in the gym very

:19:30.:19:37.

was tying up a little bit of that early speed. The target was 66 flat.

:19:38.:19:45.

66.16 is very good indeed. And I wonder whether tomorrow

:19:46.:19:48.

66.16 is very good indeed. And I final she will break 66. Wouldn't

:19:49.:19:52.

that be something special? A new championship record. That would be

:19:53.:20:00.

impressive. So fast. A good reaction and so powerful underwater. Already

:20:01.:20:04.

impressive. So fast. A good reaction taking her first stroke underwater

:20:05.:20:04.

while some of the other taking her first stroke underwater

:20:05.:20:07.

still gliding. But what a stretch. taking her first stroke underwater

:20:08.:20:12.

Maybe a 10th of a second just on taking her first stroke underwater

:20:13.:20:20.

training, the middle of posh training, a good swim. Bosch

:20:21.:20:24.

training is working well at the European Championships. Ruta

:20:25.:20:28.

Meilutyte winning the second semifinal. A new championship

:20:29.:20:34.

record. The rest of the field a full second behind. And I'm delighted to

:20:35.:20:37.

tell you that Sharron Davies is now talking to the British sensations,

:20:38.:20:44.

Chloe and Molly. Ladies, many congratulations. Fantastic. First

:20:45.:20:48.

and third in that race. You are inspired by watching the guys?

:20:49.:20:53.

Definitely. Adam Peaty is a massive inspiration. He has done this

:20:54.:20:59.

before. It was just a good push. Chloe, this is kind of the first

:21:00.:21:03.

major international for you. It was a big learning curve. Yes,

:21:04.:21:08.

completely new to me but I am loving it. I'm taking it in my stride. And

:21:09.:21:14.

a big PB this year, where can you go next? Word you see yourself going

:21:15.:21:22.

this summer? Just getting better, hopefully. -- where do you see

:21:23.:21:26.

yourself. Molly, lovely to see yourself here. Showing why you

:21:27.:21:34.

should be here. Yes, that was a big PB for me. I did not expect to

:21:35.:21:39.

swimmer that well here, because we have just been back in the pool for

:21:40.:21:43.

four weeks. But this is showing that it is working. And it is great to

:21:44.:21:51.

have such depth in the breast drug field. Yes, since this year, we have

:21:52.:21:57.

been a bit behind, but now that Chloe has come through, we have to

:21:58.:22:05.

strong breaststroke is. Great swimming from both Chloe and Molly.

:22:06.:22:10.

Their favourite event later in the week. But now it is time to turn our

:22:11.:22:16.

attention to the men's 200-metre medley.

:22:17.:22:30.

Max Litchfield from Great Britain going in six. He has a chance of

:22:31.:22:36.

making this final. He really needs to put in a very big semifinal. Now

:22:37.:22:54.

Laszlo Che, the fastest qualifier. -- Laszlo Cseh.

:22:55.:23:01.

The first semifinal of the men's 200 metres individual medley. Max

:23:02.:23:07.

Litchfield of Great Britain in six, in the blue hat. In the centre, the

:23:08.:23:27.

Greek, certainly the star, Andreas Vazaios. Certainly, to be a world

:23:28.:23:31.

class 200-metre medley star, you cannot have a weak stroke. You will

:23:32.:23:40.

be exposed. They need to iron out their weaknesses. But it is also

:23:41.:23:44.

about making sure that whatever stroke is your weakness does not

:23:45.:23:48.

cost you too much if you are working too hard. You cannot put too much

:23:49.:23:55.

effort into it, so it leaves you with nothing left on your other

:23:56.:23:58.

legs. It is about efficiency. But what a lead. 1.62 behind Andreas

:23:59.:24:11.

Venizelos is Max Litchfield. -- Tampax. Raphael Stacchiotti of

:24:12.:24:24.

Luxembourg just behind him. Litchfield, sandwiched between

:24:25.:24:32.

Stacchiotti and Benjamin Gratz. He really did some damage in the heats.

:24:33.:24:39.

Almost a relief to get onto the medley. The Greek, better from the

:24:40.:24:49.

start. An excellent backstroke. And look at this brief -- look at this

:24:50.:24:59.

freestyle. He just takes the outside. Finishing well. Max

:25:00.:25:05.

Litchfield, finishing in fourth. A dangerous place to finish. But a

:25:06.:25:12.

very good finish. 2.86 for him. But a really good swim from Vazaios. An

:25:13.:25:20.

exceptional swimmer from him. But Litchfield, left a little on the

:25:21.:25:25.

blocks. Not the best reaction from him. But Vazaios was superb. In a

:25:26.:25:29.

different class, in a different race, really. Finishing comfortable,

:25:30.:25:39.

just a stretch into the wall. Not too much effort in the closing

:25:40.:25:43.

stages. The Greeks are having a great meet here. He wins the first

:25:44.:25:51.

semifinal. Max Litchfield has a chance of making the final with

:25:52.:25:53.

that. Great Britain's Dan Wallace is going

:25:54.:26:05.

in lane two, the Commonwealth champion in the 400 medley. But he

:26:06.:26:08.

has work to do if he is going to make it to the final. Interesting,

:26:09.:26:18.

Dan Wallace has been selected for the British team as one of seven

:26:19.:26:28.

freestyle swimmers. I think it was also reflective of the wild card. He

:26:29.:26:36.

is the Commonwealth champion. And he has been World Champion as part of

:26:37.:26:42.

that relay. But he had a pure trials. And he will want to put that

:26:43.:26:52.

right. -- poor trials. I'm not sure why he did not go right at the

:26:53.:26:58.

trials. He is wearing a nose clip? Who wears those these days? I found

:26:59.:27:07.

it easier for backstroke. You don't have to worry about water going up

:27:08.:27:12.

your nose. The backstroke, they spend so much time underwater, it is

:27:13.:27:16.

just a little bit easier to hold your breath. Some of the swimmers

:27:17.:27:20.

are able to plug their nose with their top lip. You will sit and try

:27:21.:27:28.

that now. It is not a good look! I am very glad the camera was not on

:27:29.:27:35.

us at that point! Stick your lips out, stick your top lip as far up to

:27:36.:27:40.

your nose as you possibly can. And then you breathe them. Don't breathe

:27:41.:27:46.

them, you will get water up your nose. Dan Wallace does not wear a

:27:47.:27:58.

nose clip. I would love to see him really work this first 100 metres.

:27:59.:28:09.

His butterfly is not bad at all but his backstroke is weaker. The

:28:10.:28:15.

His butterfly is not bad at all but semifinal, the second, the men's

:28:16.:28:21.

200-metre individual medley. A fantastic facility, this pool in

:28:22.:28:31.

Stratford. And Dan has so much to prove now, after delivering at

:28:32.:28:42.

trials. This season, beginning just five weeks ago, he showed so much

:28:43.:28:46.

promise in 2014, winning the Commonwealth Games. And last year as

:28:47.:28:53.

well, a good world championship. But he did not really get it right. He

:28:54.:28:58.

will be keen to put things straight. he did not really get it right. He

:28:59.:29:10.

place in the final would be good for Dan, getting back into racing. At

:29:11.:29:16.

the moment, a little down on the pace. Good breaststroke, good

:29:17.:29:17.

freestyle, so now it is chance. pace. Good breaststroke, good

:29:18.:29:27.

now is his chance. It is a pricing and much you can sense and see when

:29:28.:29:34.

you are swimming. -- it is surprising how much you can sense.

:29:35.:29:37.

Wallace is based here. Two from the surprising how much you can sense.

:29:38.:29:41.

next to him, the Portuguese swimmer. surprising how much you can sense.

:29:42.:29:55.

A good 200-metre freestyle. He is watching those swimmers,

:29:56.:30:00.

A good 200-metre freestyle. He is up. There is a lot of space between

:30:01.:30:03.

A good 200-metre freestyle. He is him. He will want to get into this

:30:04.:30:09.

final. The charges coming on from Dan Wallace. He still has a great

:30:10.:30:15.

chance of the final. I think he is finished in fourth. 2.7

:30:16.:30:20.

chance of the final. I think he is reckon he will make the final. He

:30:21.:30:22.

might be seven for eighth and if he is, that will be something special.

:30:23.:30:26.

I think we have to Brits in the final, maybe seven. That would be

:30:27.:30:32.

great. It would be great to see and the crowd will love it. Hopefully

:30:33.:30:38.

one of them has not knocked the other one out. That butterfly kick

:30:39.:30:46.

underwater, choosing to stay under not very long in the 200 medley.

:30:47.:30:52.

How close it was in the closing stages, everyplace counts. So the

:30:53.:31:03.

results of the second semifinal of the men's 200 metres medley, Dan

:31:04.:31:08.

Wallace did really well. I think he is in the final, let's just check

:31:09.:31:15.

and see. We should get the finalists now, here we go, look at that! Dan

:31:16.:31:21.

Wallace in seventh, Max Litchfield in eighth, excellent, both in

:31:22.:31:28.

tomorrow night's final. Sneaking into the final, but as you

:31:29.:31:32.

guys telling me, if you have got a lane, you have got a chance. So far

:31:33.:31:36.

so good for the British swimmers, Chloe Tutton and Molly Renshaw boat

:31:37.:31:40.

into their final tomorrow, one gold medal already from Adam Peaty,

:31:41.:31:44.

silver medal for Ross Murdoch. I don't want to jinx it, but let's

:31:45.:31:50.

talk about tomorrow night, Dan Wallace and Max Litchfield, have

:31:51.:31:53.

they got any chance with Laszlo Che out of it? He pulled out after

:31:54.:32:02.

qualifying fastest. Max is somebody that is just at the start of his

:32:03.:32:06.

career, so it is great that the pictures any final ahead of his

:32:07.:32:13.

first Olympic Games. Dan is used to this. 2014 was an amazing year for

:32:14.:32:21.

Dan, came fourth in the World Championships, and on form he could

:32:22.:32:25.

potentially win it. He did not have the best trials, which was only

:32:26.:32:29.

three or four weeks ago, but I would say he can clearly do this swim, it

:32:30.:32:33.

is about doing it at the right time. You could say this is not the right

:32:34.:32:39.

time, concentrate on the 200 freestyle, the relay at Rio. For

:32:40.:32:44.

Max, great experience, another final, for both of them tomorrow

:32:45.:32:48.

night, and the more experienced he gets, the better. As we have already

:32:49.:32:52.

seen this week, people peak at different times, let's see what he

:32:53.:32:58.

has to say about it, Dan Wallace is with Sharron. A topsy-turvy? Is, how

:32:59.:33:03.

did you feel just a few months ago, when you are thinking, Rio is

:33:04.:33:09.

coming, it did not quite happen at the trials, but now what you are

:33:10.:33:14.

coming back into form. -- a topsy-turvy view months. It has been

:33:15.:33:19.

emotional stuff, ups and downs, but I found my way onto the team, I

:33:20.:33:26.

wanted to prove a point, I am not just a wild card. Everyone knows

:33:27.:33:29.

that I'm capable of making the team and doing something good this

:33:30.:33:34.

summer. Is that part of the problem of being in the American programme

:33:35.:33:41.

that does not tie in with ours? Not really, I have been in America for

:33:42.:33:45.

five years now, but it has worked really well for me, me who who I am

:33:46.:33:55.

today. It is the communication between my coaches over the last

:33:56.:33:58.

five years has been good. Well done, both of you.

:33:59.:34:02.

We will have that final tomorrow night. We have mentioned two medals,

:34:03.:34:06.

but not all of them. Earlier Ben Proud went in the 50 metres fly, a

:34:07.:34:11.

double Commonwealth gold medal holder, can he take the European

:34:12.:34:14.

title as well? Before we share the final with you, this is what he had

:34:15.:34:26.

to say. Fantastic swim, first gold medal to England in the swimming

:34:27.:34:30.

pool is come a two and it has come for young Ben Proud of Plymouth. At

:34:31.:34:34.

the Commonwealth Games, I didn't know what to expect, just a stepping

:34:35.:34:38.

stone to make the Olympics this year. And going there, doing as well

:34:39.:34:44.

as I did, it was a massive relief, because my friends and family,

:34:45.:34:49.

leaving them to start this new life, it made it worthwhile. You could say

:34:50.:34:53.

that what we were doing was right, we were on the right path. It was

:34:54.:34:58.

great to get the two golds, even better to see that what we were

:34:59.:35:04.

doing was right. And we have got the Europeans, how are you going to

:35:05.:35:07.

approach it? I know you are not resting. What are you looking for?

:35:08.:35:13.

It is going to be a big racing week, we will spend as much time doing as

:35:14.:35:17.

many races as possible, trying to get my mind fixed on being able to

:35:18.:35:23.

race. And you know, the best training is racing, so we are going

:35:24.:35:27.

to do the 50 fly, the 103 and 53, along with possibly some relays. --

:35:28.:35:39.

the 100 free and the 50 free. Racing everybody against Europe, it will be

:35:40.:35:42.

some great competition, I am really looking forward to trying to do my

:35:43.:35:44.

best. Ben Proud in the 50 butterfly, Fran

:35:45.:35:59.

Halsall in the 50 butterfly as well, men's and women's races, they are

:36:00.:36:02.

splash and dash, get your hands on the wall. Very good start indeed for

:36:03.:36:11.

Ben Proud, great reaction, at first and very quickly is Govorov, really

:36:12.:36:17.

strong, look at the speed of the turnover, head down, flat across the

:36:18.:36:24.

surface, maybe ahead at the moment. Govorov of the Ukraine looks like he

:36:25.:36:29.

will get the touch. The gold goes to Govorov, very close indeed for

:36:30.:36:33.

silver, Ben Proud may have got the bronze medal, really tight. The gold

:36:34.:36:38.

goes to Govorov of Ukraine, the silver to Laszlo Cseh,

:36:39.:36:42.

goes to Govorov of Ukraine, the final he had, Ben Proud weds 23.3,

:36:43.:36:49.

just final he had, Ben Proud weds 23.3,

:36:50.:36:54.

Great Britain's first silver medal of day two. Superb swim, but he lost

:36:55.:37:00.

that on the touch. Great start, so fast off the block, Ben Proud, great

:37:01.:37:06.

reactions. You can see, in the closing stages, Govorov on the wall,

:37:07.:37:10.

Laszlo Cseh just timed that a bit better and managed to snatch the

:37:11.:37:16.

silver medal away from Ben Proud. Only was also of the men's 50 metres

:37:17.:37:29.

butterfly final. -- so he is -- so the results. Congratulations, and

:37:30.:37:33.

other bronze medal, it looked as if the timing on the war was not quite

:37:34.:37:39.

right. That is made with 50 fly, good time, but I knew I was not

:37:40.:37:49.

right at 45 metres. It was still a good race for me. I am still really

:37:50.:37:55.

happy with that. Your 50 free has been in really great shape, it must

:37:56.:37:58.

give you great confidence going into the 50 free later in the programme.

:37:59.:38:03.

Definitely, it is not even at my best, I have been doing no training

:38:04.:38:07.

for butterfly at all, so swimming quite close to my best is good. 50

:38:08.:38:13.

free is most of my attention, I have got a couple of days to freshen up,

:38:14.:38:17.

hopefully by Saturday I will be ready. Congratulations, Ben Proud,

:38:18.:38:22.

he was so close to the silver, that is insanely close. Can you plan for

:38:23.:38:27.

that? Are their tactics to make up that kind of time? When you swim a

:38:28.:38:35.

sprint event, you will know how many strokes it is, you know it is

:38:36.:38:38.

probably 17 strokes it is, you know it is

:38:39.:38:40.

and he will finish on a four strokes it is, you know it is

:38:41.:38:42.

If you are a couple out from the strokes it is, you know it is

:38:43.:38:47.

wall, you can readjust. He is not seeing the wall, only the bottom of

:38:48.:38:51.

the pool. It is not hit or miss, you can make adjustments, but you train

:38:52.:38:55.

so many times, the moment you go to the wall, it should

:38:56.:38:59.

so many times, the moment you go to right stroke. Not an Olympic event,

:39:00.:39:03.

but it bodes well. Definitely, it should give him loads of confidence.

:39:04.:39:08.

Right, the final of the women's 200 metres breaststroke, a heck of a

:39:09.:39:15.

schedule for Katinka Hosszu, how do metres breaststroke, a heck of a

:39:16.:39:22.

they do it? I don't know! She does this all the time, she races a lot,

:39:23.:39:24.

she does big programmes, this all the time, she races a lot,

:39:25.:39:28.

this as part of a training session. Let's see how she gets on.

:39:29.:39:46.

The fastest qualifier is Daryna Zevina of the Ukraine. So Hosszu

:39:47.:40:01.

only third fastest into this, but there is a particular reason why, I

:40:02.:40:07.

think. She has given herself quite a tough schedule, she had the 400

:40:08.:40:10.

medley before that semifinal, and the 400 medley, I cannot imagine

:40:11.:40:17.

what it felt like to swim the 200 backstroke afterwards. And there she

:40:18.:40:21.

is, she calls herself the Iron Lady, that is what she is known as.

:40:22.:40:27.

Whenever she puts videos out, she talks about the

:40:28.:40:30.

Whenever she puts videos out, she the forge. A real brand going for

:40:31.:40:39.

her. She has said a tough schedule, all about preparing for the Olympic

:40:40.:40:43.

Games, make it as tough as she can now so it is easy in Rio. Daryna

:40:44.:40:50.

Zevina is the fastest qualifier, the Ukrainian, the European junior

:40:51.:40:55.

champion. Now the fastest qualifier for the senior final. Well, Zevina

:40:56.:41:03.

in three, the world champion at 200 medley and 400 medley, already won

:41:04.:41:09.

gold in the 400 medley. Can we see past another girl for Katinka

:41:10.:41:15.

Hosszu? She is the class act of the field, she is ranked six places

:41:16.:41:19.

higher in the world than Daryna Zevina. Zevina looked good in the

:41:20.:41:26.

semifinal, but Hosszu, well, she is rested now, isn't she?! Are supposed

:41:27.:41:30.

she is, but what a tough double that was last night, 400 medley final

:41:31.:41:38.

then 200 backstroke semi. The final of the women's 200 metres backstroke

:41:39.:41:40.

at the European Championships. The pink suit of Daryna Zevina right

:41:41.:41:50.

in the centre, the fastest qualifier. The best start from

:41:51.:41:57.

Katinka Hosszu in lane three. Also a very good start up in seven, Simona

:41:58.:42:02.

Baumrtova of the Czech Republic, but Katinka Hosszu started as she means

:42:03.:42:07.

to continue. Not the prettiest stroke, quite bouncy in the water.

:42:08.:42:12.

Some almost glide like a hovercraft over the top of the water, perfectly

:42:13.:42:18.

still, though. She needs to take this race on. She has got great

:42:19.:42:23.

strength in the closing stages of races. The 400 medley sees to that.

:42:24.:42:30.

There is first and second, close to us is Katinka Hosszu, and look at

:42:31.:42:34.

the lady in the pink suit at the bottom, she swam on this side of the

:42:35.:42:39.

lane going down, she is right on that side in lane one, she is

:42:40.:42:44.

probably swimming 102 metres down this first length. Let's see what

:42:45.:42:50.

you does in the second 100. Sue over first, 0.8 head of Zevina and

:42:51.:42:58.

second. -- Hosszu over first. Zevina did that in the semifinal herself,

:42:59.:43:01.

talk about the Anjaal eating roof causing the swimmers to move a

:43:02.:43:08.

little bit off centre. -- the undulating roof. It is different

:43:09.:43:16.

when you are outside under the clouds, but no problem for Katinka

:43:17.:43:20.

Hosszu, dead centre of the lane, not giving herself a single centimetre

:43:21.:43:24.

more. Just outside the European record split. It is fast swimming

:43:25.:43:31.

from Katinka, it would be great to see the championship record go, it

:43:32.:43:35.

has stood since 1991 to her compatriot. Hosszu is toughing it

:43:36.:43:43.

out, this will be tough for Hosszu, unrested, it is going to hurt now.

:43:44.:43:48.

Zevina is coming back very strongly, I think Hosszu is going to hang on,

:43:49.:43:53.

powering home. She needed another ten metres, the gold goes to Hosszu,

:43:54.:44:00.

silver goes to Zevina of Ukraine, the bronze goes to Samardzic of

:44:01.:44:06.

Croatia, but the last 15 metres, Zevina was coming back, Hosszu

:44:07.:44:11.

smashes the water. Well, she has won European titles at a number of

:44:12.:44:17.

distances, and now she adds the 200 backstroke. Her season's best as

:44:18.:44:23.

well, so she is getting faster through the year. The power off the

:44:24.:44:30.

start by Zevina, right out of the water, good leg strength for that.

:44:31.:44:39.

Hosszu already ahead. Getting tough for her in the closing stages,

:44:40.:44:43.

Zevina was coming back at her. Oh, she wanted that wall so much!

:44:44.:44:54.

Katinka Hosszu is the European champion in the women's 200 metres

:44:55.:44:58.

backstroke, very close behind, though, Daryna Zevina of the

:44:59.:45:04.

Ukraine. We touched on Katinka Hosszu's busy

:45:05.:45:09.

schedule just before that race, here is her schedule for the week. Two

:45:10.:45:12.

gold medals in the bag already. They are not easy, quick events, how

:45:13.:45:32.

much does a butterfly race take it out of you might that looks like one

:45:33.:45:34.

of the hardest. The distance events take a lot more

:45:35.:45:46.

out of you. There is a build-up, but you can remove that pretty quick.

:45:47.:45:50.

With distance, it takes longer. But this is what she does. This is not

:45:51.:45:54.

new to her, it is not the first time she has tried this. Very similar to

:45:55.:46:00.

Hannah Miley in that way. How easy is it, and I believe we have a

:46:01.:46:04.

technical glitch... Can you hear about that. How easy is it to carry

:46:05.:46:10.

bad form into the Olympics? We were about that. How easy is it to carry

:46:11.:46:15.

talking about how she might perform this week, but can you stay at their

:46:16.:46:22.

peak? For her, I think at the moment she is swimming through this. She

:46:23.:46:28.

will not be rested completely. But she will have already qualified for

:46:29.:46:32.

Hungary, based on the results last year. This will be a training week

:46:33.:46:37.

for her. Every metre she goes to, she performs near her mast.

:46:38.:46:42.

for her. Every metre she goes to, meeting. And the way her coach and

:46:43.:46:46.

team carry on, that is a spectator sport in itself. They are very

:46:47.:46:51.

aggressive. Nothing wrong with a bit of passion! Last night, Fran Halsall

:46:52.:46:54.

swam our second fastest of passion! Last night, Fran Halsall

:46:55.:46:57.

final and she has of passion! Last night, Fran Halsall

:46:58.:47:10.

the shape of Sarah Sjoestroem. Fran Halsall, still in

:47:11.:47:16.

to be silver?! It is! Brilliant. Fran Halsall has certainly got more

:47:17.:47:23.

in her. And at last, called for Great Britain. Gold again for Fran

:47:24.:47:31.

Halsall. What a double. Fran Halsall! European champion, a

:47:32.:47:42.

tremendous week. The final of the women's 50 metres

:47:43.:47:47.

butterfly, Fran Halsall, the fastest qualifier in four and the world

:47:48.:47:54.

record-holder is in five. A good, clean start and a fast one from lane

:47:55.:48:04.

three. Bataclan Hassell has a fast turnover. Nice and flat in the

:48:05.:48:05.

water. turnover. Nice and flat in the

:48:06.:48:18.

working hard. Come on! It looks like may be the silver went to Otterson.

:48:19.:48:28.

-- Jeff Maggert. And the bronze goes to Fran Halsall. The winner, 24

:48:29.:48:37.

point nine. And 41 hundredths back, Fran Halsall. What a great race that

:48:38.:48:47.

was. Fantastic. A good start from Jeanette Otteson. Sarah Sjoestroem,

:48:48.:48:53.

no breaths. She nailed the turn. Jeanette Otteson. Sarah Sjoestroem,

:48:54.:49:02.

close. And there is the winner. So the World Champion defends her 50

:49:03.:49:08.

metres butterfly championship title here at the European Championships.

:49:09.:49:14.

24.9, Sarah Sjoestroem. Otteson the silver and Fran Halsall, a great

:49:15.:49:20.

bronze. Fantastic, another bronze medal. Yes, two tents under 25, I

:49:21.:49:27.

would have been happy with that. It is a good step for the rest of the

:49:28.:49:31.

week. Were you hoping to tire them out? Maybe, but those girls know

:49:32.:49:37.

what they are doing. It is a good race and I really enjoyed it. It

:49:38.:49:42.

shows, with butterfly, the Finnish means a lot. I had not nailed it

:49:43.:49:47.

tonight. I am happy. When you watched it back, it looked as if you

:49:48.:49:51.

had got it but she did not bring her hands in front. It is all about

:49:52.:49:55.

nailing the finish. Last night I had the most perfect race. Tonight, the

:49:56.:50:01.

finish was a bit off, but a finish is what it is. I am just happy with

:50:02.:50:06.

the medal. And the lead changes all the time. What goes through your

:50:07.:50:10.

head when you have the gall last? It is quite an easy job because you

:50:11.:50:14.

know where you are in the race. If you are head, you can chill out down

:50:15.:50:20.

the first 50. It is just about knowing the tactics of it and making

:50:21.:50:25.

sure you are in a good position. Hopefully, we will be part of the

:50:26.:50:30.

competition. Defend their title, well done. A proud moment for Fran

:50:31.:50:33.

Halsall, receiving a bronze medal they are, another European medal.

:50:34.:50:42.

She has God one heck of a medal haul. This will be her third

:50:43.:50:49.

Olympics. I believe how about three Olympics, this will be the one where

:50:50.:50:54.

she competes for a medal. And we can see her walking around the aquatic

:50:55.:50:57.

centre now, taking in the crowd, because it is fair to say that it is

:50:58.:51:03.

a loud and proud crowd. As swimmers, it must be nice to see youth groups

:51:04.:51:08.

coming in, the swimming stars of the future. Yes. And I speak for both of

:51:09.:51:19.

us, at the beginning of the career, you want to race in America, and you

:51:20.:51:22.

like the glitz and glamour but when it came down to it, the ones that

:51:23.:51:26.

mean the most are the home crowd. It is not just the friends and family,

:51:27.:51:31.

but the next generation of British swimmers can come and watch and the

:51:32.:51:35.

fans of swimming can come and cheer for you. In here, it is that noise,

:51:36.:51:39.

it is quite deafening up there, so I do not know what it is like down

:51:40.:51:43.

there. And Fran Halsall seems like the kind of person that feeds off

:51:44.:51:47.

the crowd. We heard Chloe and Molly saying that earlier, they are really

:51:48.:51:52.

enjoying it. When you are at so many mass of competitions, do you

:51:53.:51:56.

remember to enjoy it? With a bit of distance, was it just getting the

:51:57.:52:00.

job done or did you enjoy it? The older you get, you become less

:52:01.:52:06.

overwhelmed of it -- with it, and you do enjoy the home crowd.

:52:07.:52:10.

Especially someone like Fran, she has a big personality, and she loves

:52:11.:52:15.

this sort of thing. She soaks up the atmosphere. But as you get older,

:52:16.:52:19.

you appreciate it more. When you are first on the team, you are a bit

:52:20.:52:23.

scared but towards the end of your career, as you grow up, you relish

:52:24.:52:29.

the crowd. And we will see her a little bit later in the medley

:52:30.:52:34.

relay. But now, James Guy, we have been talking a lot about him. He

:52:35.:52:38.

failed to make it to the 400 metres semifinal but he has made it to the

:52:39.:52:42.

200 metres semifinals. Let's see how he gets on. A first semifinal of the

:52:43.:52:52.

men's 200 metres freestyle. Very interesting. Stefanovic in four. We

:52:53.:53:02.

thought he was going to win that. I am delighted to be joined by Karen

:53:03.:53:09.

Pickering, herself the World Champion in the 200 metres. This

:53:10.:53:12.

will be a fascinating first semifinal. I will these guys

:53:13.:53:17.

swimming, tactically. The 200 metre freestyle has almost become a sprint

:53:18.:53:24.

event. But some of the guys will have a 400 background, like

:53:25.:53:32.

Stjepanovic. But they will be strong in the closing stages. There are

:53:33.:53:36.

other swimmers good at 50 and 100, and they will need to make the most

:53:37.:53:41.

of their speed in the opening part. The whole race is quicker than it

:53:42.:53:48.

used to be. Stjepanovic there, he is good at 400. They have to be strong,

:53:49.:53:56.

but you cannot sit back too much. You cannot use too much energy. You

:53:57.:54:01.

have to give yourself a chance to finish strong. Is that the tactic,

:54:02.:54:07.

go out fast and comeback last? Ideally, that is the plan! That is

:54:08.:54:16.

what working towards. And that is why you are the World Champion in

:54:17.:54:19.

the 200 metres freestyle and I am sitting, dating. Felix back, his

:54:20.:54:38.

first freestyle semifinal. -- Felix Stjepanovic.

:54:39.:54:49.

Let's see how Karen's tactics pan out here. First out, fastback. The

:54:50.:55:01.

first semifinal of the men's 200 metre freestyle. The favourite,

:55:02.:55:08.

Stjepanovic, the defending champion in lean four. A cagey start. Only

:55:09.:55:20.

Stjepanovic making a move. I did not think he took the race on and off in

:55:21.:55:28.

the 400 freestyle. But six tenths of a second ahead of the field already.

:55:29.:55:34.

This is the Stjepanovic we know. Six tenths ahead of 50, that is not too

:55:35.:55:38.

bad! Obviously, he is listening to me. It is simple, really. He knows

:55:39.:55:46.

that he does not have the strength. To give himself a chance, he needs

:55:47.:55:51.

to get out ahead of the field. Stjepanovic over first.

:55:52.:56:02.

Casper matches back third. -- Kacper Majchrzak third. Tying up a little

:56:03.:56:15.

bit in the middle. Verschuren leading. He went down

:56:16.:56:35.

like a shot, and Stjepanovic is trying to hold on. Kacper Majchrzak,

:56:36.:56:39.

the Polish swimmer, on the lane trying to hold on. Kacper Majchrzak,

:56:40.:56:44.

line, trying to get the drag out of Stjepanovic. It looks like

:56:45.:56:47.

Verschuren will get to the touch. And he does. Kacper Majchrzak

:56:48.:56:52.

second, and Stjepanovic third. And the times are pretty quick. 45.8.

:56:53.:57:03.

Very fast indeed. Three guys under 1.4 seven. A little surprised that

:57:04.:57:07.

it was so fast. They did not look like it would passed out -- pan out

:57:08.:57:14.

that way. But with Verschuren finishing so strong. Good to see

:57:15.:57:17.

that way. But with Verschuren Stjepanovic taking the race on.

:57:18.:57:20.

that way. But with Verschuren is what he needed to do. I think it

:57:21.:57:21.

will be the same final in the is what he needed to do. I think it

:57:22.:57:25.

tactics -- in the same tactics in the final.

:57:26.:57:33.

tactics -- in the same tactics in almost touch together, but that is

:57:34.:57:35.

how close it was. The defending champion, Stjepanovic, will be in

:57:36.:57:37.

the final, I am sure. champion, Stjepanovic, will be in

:57:38.:57:43.

Majchrzak of Poland in third and the rest will have to wait.

:57:44.:57:47.

Majchrzak of Poland in third and the what James Guy is thinking now.

:57:48.:57:53.

Three guys under 1.4 seven. 1.46 must be the target for the second

:57:54.:58:03.

semifinal. The men's 200 freestyle, James Guy in lane five, the second

:58:04.:58:09.

faster qualifier. But Glenn Surgeloose had a great start this

:58:10.:58:17.

morning. What is James Guy, the World Champion, currently thinking?

:58:18.:58:22.

Eocene quick first semifinal. He did not swimmer well at the 400, but he

:58:23.:58:27.

had a good crack at the heats this morning. Good for him. He put that

:58:28.:58:32.

400 experience behind him. I think he might have underestimated out of

:58:33.:58:35.

that would be to get through to the final of the 400. It was a bit of a

:58:36.:58:43.

wake-up call. But it is good to see that he came back strong. That 1.45,

:58:44.:58:51.

it would have given him a shock. He leads the world rankings at the

:58:52.:58:55.

moment, seven tenths quicker. But there is an advantage for the

:58:56.:58:58.

swimmers in the semifinals, having seen what is ahead of

:58:59.:59:01.

swimmers in the semifinals, having know what they have to do. Sometimes

:59:02.:59:07.

it can be a bit quick. But they look focused and calm. Beasley, they have

:59:08.:59:13.

not shaved. They might put proper trunks on today. Very brave to swim

:59:14.:59:21.

with that skimpy bathing suit in the 400. But he put that right this

:59:22.:59:31.

morning. His freestyle looks very good indeed. It is fair to say that

:59:32.:59:37.

he is completely un-arrested. A lot of the big guys are. Interesting to

:59:38.:59:40.

see that they are not arrested at all, and they just have to fight to

:59:41.:59:44.

make sure they do a professional job. You might not see the

:59:45.:59:48.

difference between rested and not rested, but they certainly feel it.

:59:49.:59:50.

In the closing stages, it hurts. The fastest qualifier, Surgeloose

:59:51.:00:04.

there, from Belgium, in lane four, James Guy is one lane up for him.

:00:05.:00:08.

The black hat for the Belgian, dark blue for James Guy in five. And Guy

:00:09.:00:17.

had a very good reaction to the gun there, and a pretty good start,

:00:18.:00:22.

probably Surgeloose up just about the best and the first 25 metres.

:00:23.:00:27.

Great start from Surgeloose, already got a medal in his pocket, that has

:00:28.:00:33.

got to feel good, bronze as part of the freestyle relay yesterday.

:00:34.:00:37.

Always good when you start picking up medals early. James Guy taking

:00:38.:00:42.

the race on, great to see such a talented swimmer and only 20 years

:00:43.:00:46.

old. Not a lot of experience yet, even though he is the reigning world

:00:47.:00:52.

champion. Every meet he does, he will be learning, using it to his

:00:53.:00:59.

advantage. When he comes up against older swimmers in the summer, he

:01:00.:01:02.

will be learning from everything he does. This is what we like to see,

:01:03.:01:07.

gutsy swim from James Guy. See has worked very hard than the first 100

:01:08.:01:13.

metres, he turns first, but Surgeloose saw him about ten metres

:01:14.:01:15.

down into that, and we saw him start Surgeloose saw him about ten metres

:01:16.:01:22.

to work hard. Still James Guy working it well, and if he can keep

:01:23.:01:26.

this up, with 50 metres to go at this turn, he has a great chance of

:01:27.:01:30.

getting a centre lane for this final. Much more impressive at the

:01:31.:01:38.

moment, 50 to go. Good turn for Surgeloose, but the crowd will help

:01:39.:01:41.

James Guy, because he will be feeling it. When you are not as

:01:42.:01:46.

rested as you can be at a major championship, it really starts to

:01:47.:01:49.

hurt. The first tab will be harder than normal, but this is about guts

:01:50.:01:56.

and determination. Much better from James Guy, really fighting down this

:01:57.:02:02.

last term. He is back, he wins the second semifinal of the men's 200

:02:03.:02:09.

metres freestyle, his time is quick, not quite as fast as the first semi,

:02:10.:02:13.

but he will have a centre lane into the final tomorrow evening. We took

:02:14.:02:22.

on a big guy in Glenn Surgeloose, interesting tactics, very fast down

:02:23.:02:28.

the first 50 and 100. It had to be done, he got away well and took the

:02:29.:02:34.

race on. In this situation, no point sitting back and waiting, you need

:02:35.:02:37.

is to attack the race. Surgeloose gave of a challenge, but Jolie

:02:38.:02:44.

enough to take second place in that second semifinal. -- but only

:02:45.:02:49.

enough. James Guy wins the second semifinal, Surgeloose is second.

:02:50.:02:56.

Andrea Dorigo of Italy is third. I'm pretty sure James Guy will have one

:02:57.:03:00.

of the three centre lanes, he is third fastest into the final. There

:03:01.:03:05.

we go, Sebastiaan Verschuren was fastest. Surgeloose is fourth, what

:03:06.:03:11.

a final that is going to be, goodness me!

:03:12.:03:15.

I think we all can breathe a collective sigh of relief, because

:03:16.:03:20.

nobody wants to see anyone fall short of their potential. We talked

:03:21.:03:23.

a lot about what happened yesterday, he had something to prove. I felt

:03:24.:03:30.

for him in that last 100, because I know what it is like, in really hard

:03:31.:03:35.

training, the second 100 hertz, pure pain. When you are not rested, it

:03:36.:03:40.

does not come easy, he just wanted to prove that he's taking it

:03:41.:03:45.

seriously, he's a world-class athlete, that is what he wanted to

:03:46.:03:51.

prove. He is with Sharron now. James, a better swim, Becky Watts a

:03:52.:03:56.

new wanted to prove that yesterday was a glitch. Programme -- but he

:03:57.:04:03.

saying you wanted. Yes, back to the old James Guy, nice to have the home

:04:04.:04:11.

crowd. The shaving down, tell us about that, what it does to you, to

:04:12.:04:16.

your head and physically, what is it worth to you? It is hard, a lot of

:04:17.:04:22.

guys say they shave down, look at their head and body, it is hard,

:04:23.:04:29.

because I want to race fast, but when you are shaved down, it makes a

:04:30.:04:35.

huge difference, I think. Third in the final, in the middle, it will be

:04:36.:04:43.

a close race. Yes, Sebastiaan Verschuren was very quick, but I

:04:44.:04:49.

will try my best. So far tonight, Adam Peaty has a

:04:50.:04:54.

gold medal, Ross Murdoch has a silver, talk us through this

:04:55.:04:56.

glorious moment. Glorious it is, and on the

:04:57.:05:07.

right-hand side of that shot, Giedrius Titenis has got his bronze

:05:08.:05:14.

medal already. Great Britain's Ross Murdoch wins the silver in the men's

:05:15.:05:17.

100 metres breaststroke at the European Championships. Commonwealth

:05:18.:05:23.

champion at 200 breaststroke, World Championship runs last year, one

:05:24.:05:26.

better now, silver medal at the Europeans. A wave to the camera.

:05:27.:05:31.

Looking forward to seeing what he can do in Rio. Great swim from Ross,

:05:32.:05:43.

he knows Adam will go out like a train, he just has to try to close

:05:44.:05:48.

down in the second half of the race. He has to be calm about it, and he

:05:49.:05:54.

did just that today. Well, the Commonwealth champion, the world

:05:55.:05:57.

champion, he has just successfully defended his European Championship

:05:58.:06:01.

title. He is the world record-holder. And in two and a half

:06:02.:06:06.

months' time, I wonder if he will complete the set and become Olympic

:06:07.:06:13.

champion. This has been all about a stepping stone to Rio, he said.

:06:14.:06:17.

Well, that victory may well be a small step to the fastest

:06:18.:06:22.

breaststroke in history, a giant leap on his road to Rio. European

:06:23.:06:25.

champion Ross Murdoch. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

:06:26.:07:26.

Well, he is a new British superstar, and in Britain, where this event

:07:27.:07:33.

really has been right at the top of our nation's history, he is the

:07:34.:07:40.

fastest man ever, the fastest breast stroke in history.

:07:41.:07:43.

fastest man ever, the fastest breast Look at that, Adam Peaty gets the

:07:44.:07:48.

gold, Murdoch the silver, 1-2 for Great Britain, wonder., both

:07:49.:07:52.

unrested, and not far to the Olympics. -- wonderful stuff. Great

:07:53.:07:59.

times for British swimming, a lot of swimmers around the world will be

:08:00.:08:02.

looking at that and be a little bit worried.

:08:03.:08:06.

looking at that and be a little bit as well, he has done a lot of weight

:08:07.:08:09.

training, much stronger than he was last year. Such a lovely bloke, so

:08:10.:08:16.

calm, so nice, so pleasant. When you meet him like that, he does not seem

:08:17.:08:18.

to have the fire and meet him like that, he does not seem

:08:19.:08:23.

a lot of real champions have, but my goodness me, in the pool you would

:08:24.:08:27.

not mess with him. They say you have got to watch the quiet ones! It is

:08:28.:08:33.

great to see two Brits picking up the medals, what do feel about the

:08:34.:08:41.

electronic flag going up? Indeed! I suspect I love those people

:08:42.:08:45.

hustling him are not asking for his autograph, they are trying to work

:08:46.:08:48.

out how quickly they can get him back into the changing rooms, he has

:08:49.:08:54.

got a relay just around the corner. That is incredible, so lovely, his

:08:55.:08:58.

mum and grandma are sitting right next to us, she is filming it an

:08:59.:09:03.

iPad! The BBC will send you the footage! Adam and Ross, credits to

:09:04.:09:10.

Ross as well, he is often pushed to the side because of what an amazing

:09:11.:09:14.

athlete Adam is, but Ross swam an incredible race as well. Such a

:09:15.:09:19.

strength in depth in that event, we have had over the years, look back

:09:20.:09:28.

to that, and we have now got a history with BT, Murdoch, Jamieson.

:09:29.:09:35.

You kind of forget that Murdoch, that is a wonderful opportunity to

:09:36.:09:38.

have two guys on the rostrum, and we have not had that since you add Joe

:09:39.:09:43.

Jackson! It did not happen away before then. Last year was a very

:09:44.:09:50.

successful year, the World Championships were brilliant. In the

:09:51.:09:56.

4x100m mixed medley relay, Great Britain are world champions. It was

:09:57.:10:02.

great for us to watch, great for spectators, a bit of a surprise. It

:10:03.:10:07.

is a bit of a strange one, having two men and two women, you can swim

:10:08.:10:11.

anywhere you want, you don't have to stick to a particular order. We have

:10:12.:10:15.

Chris Walker-Hebborn, Adam Peaty, Siobhan-Marie O'Connor and Fran

:10:16.:10:21.

Halsall. Tonight will be tough, Walker-Hebborn did not have a great

:10:22.:10:27.

200 metres backstroke, Adam Peaty will be tired, Fran Halsall has not

:10:28.:10:32.

been doing 100s. How will they be feeling? They have already been on

:10:33.:10:36.

the podium tonight, will they be buzzing already for a lie down? It

:10:37.:10:42.

is kind of mixed, isn't it? You walk home exhausted, but the adrenaline

:10:43.:10:48.

will still be flowing. Adam had a great swim, he will still be

:10:49.:10:51.

buzzing. He will be tired in the last 50 metres. Brown may be tired,

:10:52.:10:57.

but they will have another in the bag. It is relay time!

:10:58.:11:12.

Great Britain going in lane four, the fastest qualifier in this

:11:13.:11:19.

morning's heats. And team Sweden are next to team Italy, but we have a

:11:20.:11:26.

fantastic team. So Great Britain start off with Chris Walker-Hebborn

:11:27.:11:32.

on the backstroke, Adam Peaty on the breaststroke, Shelbourne Marie

:11:33.:11:35.

O'Connor on flight, Fran Halsall on freestyle. -- Siobhan-Marie

:11:36.:11:42.

O'Connor. You can put a man and woman on any leg that you want,

:11:43.:11:48.

fascinating tactics. If you want to win, you have to go, man, man,

:11:49.:11:53.

woman, woman, it just works out quicker to have them going first, in

:11:54.:11:57.

terms of the best times, if you have got the option, of course. If you

:11:58.:12:01.

have got the choice, you start with the men, because the difference

:12:02.:12:05.

between men and women is bigger. You have to lead off with two guys,

:12:06.:12:12.

finish with the two girls. It is very difficult to swim behind the

:12:13.:12:16.

waves, even if you have very good swimmers. We had Georgia Davies on

:12:17.:12:20.

the backstroke leg this morning in aids, she swam very well, pretty

:12:21.:12:24.

much 60 flat, but if she was at the gains the really big guys who do it

:12:25.:12:30.

in 54 or 55, five seconds behind, swimming through, like behind a

:12:31.:12:37.

pleasure boat! You can end up getting washed up on the side of the

:12:38.:12:42.

pool if you are not careful. Only Siobhan-Marie O'Connor, are those

:12:43.:12:45.

four, swam in the heats this morning. The others were arrested,

:12:46.:12:52.

Chris Walker-Hebborn, Adam Peaty concentrating on their individuals.

:12:53.:12:57.

They still managed to qualify fastest, the world record-holder is.

:12:58.:13:03.

I was not sure about this event when it was first being put under the

:13:04.:13:07.

programme, I thought just another swim, but seeing as we are so good

:13:08.:13:13.

at it, I quite like it now! Yes! I have to say, the jury is still out a

:13:14.:13:22.

tiny bit for me, it is interesting. So it is not on the Olympic

:13:23.:13:26.

programme, but it is certainly at the World Championships, and we are

:13:27.:13:30.

the waning world champions and world record holders. -- the reigning. So

:13:31.:13:41.

six out of the 17th choosing to start with the men. Right at the

:13:42.:13:53.

bottom, the Moldovans have sent off Salcutan. That is tough, and you

:13:54.:13:57.

will see why they put the men out first, look at that, that is only 15

:13:58.:14:04.

metres in, and the guise of swimming afterwards, it is like swimming

:14:05.:14:06.

behind a bus, it is very difficult indeed! -- the guys. Chris

:14:07.:14:13.

Walker-Hebborn in the dark blue hat has had a decent start. Not a great

:14:14.:14:18.

swim in the individual, he will want to make amends as part of the team,

:14:19.:14:23.

not just letting yourself down but thinking of your team-mates. He will

:14:24.:14:30.

know he has got some superb swimmers to come, you have to give

:14:31.:14:31.

everything, it will be tough, it will hurt in the closing stages.

:14:32.:14:42.

Adam Peaty comes next. He is doing well, because Simone

:14:43.:14:48.

Adam Peaty comes next. He is doing leading, Walker-Hebborn did not make

:14:49.:14:50.

the final, but a very good swim from him. Adam Peaty goes in, and surely

:14:51.:14:55.

we will have the lead after the halfway mark, the world champion,

:14:56.:14:56.

the defending champion of the 100 halfway mark, the world champion,

:14:57.:15:04.

fantastic! Well, of course, Italy halfway mark, the world champion,

:15:05.:15:08.

have got one of the women swimming their breaststroke leg, a real

:15:09.:15:11.

disadvantage, but what a difference Adam Peaty has made in just 50

:15:12.:15:16.

metres. I mean, he must be feeling it after that fantastic European

:15:17.:15:22.

title, only just won that, this is almost like a training session,

:15:23.:15:26.

getting back into do another fast swim. Look at the great on his face,

:15:27.:15:29.

gritting his teeth, he wants it! Absolutely powering away. Chris

:15:30.:15:42.

Walker-Hebborn headed off. And now we are going to have Siobhan-Marie

:15:43.:15:48.

O'Connor. It was quite tight, the handover. Great Britain first, with

:15:49.:15:54.

Hungary second, Sweden third. Fourth, at the moment, down in lane

:15:55.:16:02.

Hungary second, Sweden third. there is a man chasing Siobhan-Marie

:16:03.:16:07.

O'Connor in five as the Italians are chasing. But

:16:08.:16:09.

O'Connor in five as the Italians are behind. A lot of work to do when you

:16:10.:16:13.

dive in and you see someone 50 metres ahead. But Siobhan-Marie

:16:14.:16:20.

O'Connor, on her own in the middle. She did so well this morning to get

:16:21.:16:21.

the team through to the finals. She did so well this morning to get

:16:22.:16:27.

Really, she is being chased by the She did so well this morning to get

:16:28.:16:32.

Italian. She is going to have a fantastic finish but

:16:33.:16:34.

Italian. She is going to have a hold on, going into the water will

:16:35.:16:37.

be Fran Halsall, of course. She needs to get every opportunity. The

:16:38.:16:40.

final leg of this mixed relay. Fran needs to get every opportunity. The

:16:41.:16:49.

Britain. And she is being chased by Pellegrini from Italy. Surely she

:16:50.:16:54.

cannot catch up this much? And our World Champion team, Pellegrini is

:16:55.:17:02.

absolutely flying. She absolutely loves a relay. She loves the chase.

:17:03.:17:06.

An absolutely loves a relay. She loves the chase.

:17:07.:17:13.

relay swimmer. Fran is a sprinter. She is going to be hurting. She has

:17:14.:17:21.

got to dig deep and hang on. Pellegrini will be sensing her,

:17:22.:17:28.

chasing her down. Fran Halsall won a medal on the 50 metres butterfly.

:17:29.:17:32.

But Pellegrini is not giving up. Great Britain will win their second

:17:33.:17:34.

gold medal of this Championships, and it is golden for team Great

:17:35.:17:44.

Britain. Chris Walker-Hebborn started with the backstroke and then

:17:45.:17:49.

it was Adam Peaty, who already has two gold medals, then Siobhan-Marie

:17:50.:17:52.

O'Connor O'Connor and bringing it home and fantastic style, Fran

:17:53.:18:01.

Halsall. Superb from Great Britain. Strong stuff. Fran is a superb on

:18:02.:18:07.

the anchor leg. She loves a relay. Talk about Pellegrini liking the

:18:08.:18:11.

thrill of that chase, but honestly, who was going to get past Fran? Have

:18:12.:18:17.

you changed your mind a little bit on how much fun the next medley

:18:18.:18:28.

relay is? -- next medley. Well done, they are the world champions and now

:18:29.:18:39.

the European champions. And you cannot underestimate the power of

:18:40.:18:42.

getting medals in relays. Four swimmers going back to their hotel

:18:43.:18:48.

as European champions. It has an impact. It is so important to team

:18:49.:18:54.

spirit. They will be having fun together. It is not just about

:18:55.:18:59.

individuals, it is good fun, a relay. It certainly is. They have

:19:00.:19:04.

not quite made the score board official. A few nervous swimmers

:19:05.:19:09.

around. But you can see the guys looking down at the other end of the

:19:10.:19:15.

pool. Just waiting to see. They need to put it in. And the crowd, a tiny

:19:16.:19:23.

bit nervous also. This could be interesting. I hope there is nothing

:19:24.:19:34.

too tight on the changeovers. Well, we can see on our computer that

:19:35.:19:38.

there is nothing wrong with the British times, as far as we can see.

:19:39.:19:50.

The second one, zero .2 six. Adam Peters -- Adam Peaty's handover was

:19:51.:20:00.

good. Fran Halsall, 0.3 four. And I think we will have a

:20:01.:20:03.

disqualification. I'm not quite sure why. The handover times looked all

:20:04.:20:14.

right. But the time between touching the wall and the toes of the next

:20:15.:20:18.

swimmer leaving the block. I can tell you that Norway have been

:20:19.:20:22.

disqualified. The results in the final race of the second day of the

:20:23.:20:28.

European Championships, 2016, Great Britain win their second gold medal

:20:29.:20:33.

in the 4x100 next medley relay. The goals to Britain Musselburgh to

:20:34.:20:46.

Italy. Bronze to Hungary. Take a bow, of four. The crowd came and

:20:47.:20:51.

they delivered. It is a relatively new event and that is currently a

:20:52.:20:56.

crowd pleaser. And they were so far ahead, they were going to win this

:20:57.:21:00.

event on paper. But they all put in solid performances. A good time from

:21:01.:21:05.

Chris, a solid time from Adam. Siobhan-Marie O'Connor, it was nice

:21:06.:21:08.

to see her get in the plural because we have not seen her race yet. And

:21:09.:21:13.

Fran says she is not good at the freestyle but that was a great time.

:21:14.:21:19.

Do the hundred! We love that event. It has only been raced three times.

:21:20.:21:24.

Twice at the Europeans, twice at the World Championships. And lead

:21:25.:21:28.

changes so much that it is exciting to watch, especially for crowd. We

:21:29.:21:33.

love it because we are good at it as well! Before the race we spoke about

:21:34.:21:37.

Adam, how he had just won a gold medal and had to get straight back

:21:38.:21:41.

in the pool. Would he be buzzing or tired? I think it was fair to say

:21:42.:21:45.

that he loved it. He would have been tired towards the end. But it is

:21:46.:21:51.

going to be tiring. He is only human. But the time was 0.5 slower

:21:52.:21:57.

than he had just done. But it doesn't matter. It is about the

:21:58.:22:01.

race. He was not going about a time. As long as he did the job for the

:22:02.:22:13.

team, job done. Let's look back at it. The final of the men's 100

:22:14.:22:21.

metres backstroke and this is wide open. Some great juniors, five

:22:22.:22:25.

former European junior champions in this. The fastest qualifier,

:22:26.:22:39.

Christou of Greece, in four but it will be interesting to see what

:22:40.:22:46.

happens in six. The 31-year-old, can that carry him through? Maybe the

:22:47.:22:50.

youngsters are better prepared for this event. Just giving it

:22:51.:22:56.

everything they have got at the moment. What a turn. Coming out

:22:57.:23:12.

ahead of the field, Christou. And at the moment, it is Lacourt. Heavy

:23:13.:23:21.

training. The Russian coming back in lane five. Is he going to get the

:23:22.:23:28.

touch? Did he win its? He did, but he stuck in an extra armour when he

:23:29.:23:33.

did not need to. Apparently he did not dive, he put in an extra move.

:23:34.:23:38.

He is about six foot nine, you would think he would just have reached for

:23:39.:23:42.

the wall. He is delighted with that swim. That is experienced that

:23:43.:23:48.

carried him through. And here we see that beautiful underwater work that

:23:49.:23:51.

the backstroke swimmers have. Breaking the surface into that turn.

:23:52.:23:59.

Lacourt, again, supreme of the wall. He went in together, but came out

:24:00.:24:06.

ahead. In the closing stages, he was feeling there. And it was the

:24:07.:24:08.

youngster getting that finished right, him. The result of the men's

:24:09.:24:20.

100 metre backstroke, Camille Lacourt becomes a champion. The

:24:21.:24:27.

silver for Tarasevich. Turning our attention to the semifinal of the

:24:28.:24:33.

women's 100 metre freestyle. A very competitive field of this one. The

:24:34.:24:39.

first semifinal, the swimmer from Holland was fastest. No surprises

:24:40.:24:49.

there. And in the second semifinal, it was the Olympic champion who

:24:50.:24:53.

touched the wall first, closely it was the Olympic champion who

:24:54.:24:56.

followed by Sarah Sjoestroem of Sweden.

:24:57.:25:07.

So and we will see that tomorrow night.

:25:08.:25:15.

It has been a very successful might for Britain in the pool. At the

:25:16.:25:23.

moment we are seeing Katinka Hosszu collect her 10th individual European

:25:24.:25:26.

title. Congratulations to her and we will see her in the pool quite a few

:25:27.:25:30.

more times later in the week. She loves being on telly, that women!

:25:31.:25:40.

Congratulations to the British swimmers. Tonight. Five medals, that

:25:41.:25:45.

is a great night. Last night, Hannah Miley did a great job, but five

:25:46.:25:49.

tonight, hopefully that will set up the team to build on this momentum.

:25:50.:25:54.

Maybe tomorrow we will get six! And at the moment Britain is sitting at

:25:55.:26:00.

the top of the medal table. Two gold, two bronze, two silver. We did

:26:01.:26:05.

enjoy the relay. We were saying the same thing at Berlin. The first time

:26:06.:26:09.

we topped the medal table. We went in with a strong lead. Olympic

:26:10.:26:14.

swimmers, the Olympic Games, they are stepping up against the best

:26:15.:26:17.

that Europe have to offer and still delivering. Very exciting. The relay

:26:18.:26:22.

was very exciting. And Becky has teamed us up nicely for a night of

:26:23.:26:26.

swimming tomorrow. She is wanting six medals!

:26:27.:26:30.

swimming tomorrow. She is wanting From six o'clock we have

:26:31.:26:33.

swimming tomorrow. She is wanting men's 1500 metres freestyle, the

:26:34.:26:38.

women's 200 metre freestyle, featuring James Guy, and the women's

:26:39.:26:39.

100 metre featuring Chloe featuring James Guy, and the women's

:26:40.:26:45.

Molly Renshaw, both going into the final with PBs. What are you looking

:26:46.:26:52.

forward to particularly tomorrow night? It has got to be James Guy.

:26:53.:26:57.

He has been the talk of the past two days. Hopefully he will be able to

:26:58.:27:03.

pick up a medal tomorrow night. He probably should have got that in the

:27:04.:27:07.

400 as well. We have been watching his dad all evening, going like

:27:08.:27:12.

this! It is so hard, I feel like going up to him and giving him a hug

:27:13.:27:16.

and saying, it is just the semifinal, you're OK. Plenty to

:27:17.:27:21.

celebrate. If you want to see the full medal ceremony of the mixed

:27:22.:27:25.

medley 4x100, you can do on the BBC sport website. Finally, Adam Peaty

:27:26.:27:31.

will be able to sit down and have a rest! Thank you for your company

:27:32.:27:35.

this evening. If you want to join us tomorrow night, we are on your

:27:36.:27:38.

television from 6:30pm on BBC Two but you will not miss a race if you

:27:39.:27:45.

press the red button at 6pm. So they two of the swimming, successful all

:27:46.:27:48.

around. Thank you very much for your company and hopefully we will have

:27:49.:27:54.

you with us tomorrow. Becky and Mark will be with us again, and they will

:27:55.:27:58.

be with us all week. The rest of the week is shaping up to be pretty

:27:59.:28:02.

exciting, isn't it? Who else are you looking forward to seeing? I am

:28:03.:28:07.

looking forward to the distance races, so Jazz Carlin in the 800

:28:08.:28:10.

metres, I am looking forward to that. And Siobhan-Marie O'Connor,

:28:11.:28:13.

who we have seen tonight getting a gold medal in the relay, I looking

:28:14.:28:18.

forward to her 200-metre individual medley. We're joking about the fact

:28:19.:28:21.

that we are watching the friends and family who look so nervous and

:28:22.:28:25.

anxious, and hopefully they will be able to enjoy themselves as the week

:28:26.:28:28.

goes on and they should certainly look back on the night as a very

:28:29.:28:31.

successful evening in the pool.
