Championships. Plenty to talk you Team GB so far. Two Gold, two Silva | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
and two bronze and more podium opportunities tonight. It has been a | :00:59. | :01:10. | |
and two bronze and more podium topsy-turvy week for James Guy. Can | :01:11. | :01:11. | |
Dan Wallace Addie European title to topsy-turvy week for James Guy. Can | :01:12. | :01:20. | |
Craig Benson go in the 200, let's wish them the very best. | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
Mark Foster and Becky Adlington with us this evening to talk us | :01:26. | :01:40. | |
through the action, and they are with us all week. First we have the | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
semifinals of the women's 200 metre individual | :01:45. | :01:45. | |
semifinals of the women's 200 metre week Hannah Miley got a silver in | :01:46. | :01:46. | |
the 400 and week Hannah Miley got a silver in | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
semifinal. In the second we have the world champion and the Commonwealth | :01:50. | :01:50. | |
champion. world champion and the Commonwealth | :01:51. | :02:01. | |
international swimming. Look at this. She is miles ahead. What a | :02:02. | :02:09. | |
week she has had. Finally she has won Commonwealth gold. Siobhan | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
Mario, holds on for the bronze. Look what it means. Wonderful. I think we | :02:15. | :02:23. | |
need a call room before we come on air. I thought it was a private | :02:24. | :02:35. | |
joke, I thought, what's going on? You love talking about Sherborne | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
Marie O Connor, what is it like having someone like suing there? I | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
have not seen her in the pool room, but she is clearly on form and very | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
fast. I don't think she will upset her opponents but I don't know she | :02:48. | :03:01. | |
does her own thing. What Sherborne would do in there, people learn from | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
each other, but ultimately you do your own thing and don't get | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
intimidated. Hannah Miley has won silver. O Connor is going in the | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
second. Let's handover to Karen and Andy. | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
Camming sky of Portugal in second. Fantastic 400 medley here to get the | :03:16. | :03:47. | |
silver medal. You think of her more as a 400 swimmer but she has swum in | :03:48. | :03:58. | |
the 200. She seems more built for a 400, quite slight and doesn't seem | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
to have the power of other swimmers but she is talented. Here she is, | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
Hannah Miley of Great Britain. With a fast second semifinal | :04:04. | :04:25. | |
waiting, these eight women really have to do push it down this first | :04:26. | :04:33. | |
semifinal of the women's 200 in it individual medley. The Whitecaps in | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
the centre there is Hannah Miley of Great Britain. Great start. She is a | :04:38. | :04:56. | |
good butterfly swimmer so is making the most of that in this event. | :04:57. | :05:06. | |
Laying to their strengths. You cannot afford to have a weak stroke | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
in this level at individual medley any more. Particularly thinking | :05:11. | :05:18. | |
about the way your strengths and weaknesses lie. Interesting term | :05:19. | :05:32. | |
there. She was very close. This is the part of the medley where Hannah | :05:33. | :05:40. | |
begins to start to drive through, and you can see that white hat in | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
the centre. She is starting to make a move. The Dutch swimmer leading, | :05:44. | :05:53. | |
Miley second, and between them, the Italian coming in quite fast. She | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
has paid the price for that speed in the early stages, played to their | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
strength but paid the price. Hannah Miley's breaststroke, she is such a | :06:04. | :06:15. | |
tough competitor, great determination in the closing stages | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
of 400 and 200 medley. Hannah Miley looking good. She needs 2.10, should | :06:18. | :06:29. | |
be good enough. A little slower. 2.12. Importantly she has won the | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
semifinal so highly unlikely all eight from the second semifinal will | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
beat her. She should comfortably get through to tomorrow night's final, | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
but to slightly slower than I expected. A tiny bit quicker than | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
the heats. We see the race gets under way. Hannah got to the wall | :06:53. | :07:06. | |
first. Good, long reach. First semifinals of the women's 200 medley | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
won by Hannah Miley, Italy second and third. | :07:11. | :07:30. | |
The Olympic champion and world record-holder in force, Hosszu. | :07:31. | :07:42. | |
Siobhan-Marie O Connor focusing on the medley. Very talented, good on | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
freestyle, breaststroke and butterfly, individually. Great to | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
see her focus on that event. So the two Hungarians in three and | :07:58. | :08:20. | |
four, Herath Stowe and Hosszu. -- Evelyn Verraszto. Siobhan-Marie was | :08:21. | :08:29. | |
the only one of the four has swum the heats as well, doing the | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
butterfly leg, excellent in the morning and the evening. | :08:35. | :08:50. | |
Slovenia in lane eight, the slowest qualifier, but there is the world | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
champion, no Olympic medals yet, though, and next to her | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
Siobhan-Marie O Connor, Commonwealth champion in this 200 medley. It was | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
gold and bronze at the world champions, Hosszu and O Connor. | :09:08. | :09:26. | |
The second semifinal of the women's 200 metre individual medley, | :09:27. | :09:36. | |
probably the slowest reaction to the gun. A superb start for | :09:37. | :09:37. | |
Siobhan-Marie O Connor. That's what gun. A superb start for | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
you need to do, will be a tough lady to beat. The | :09:40. | :09:57. | |
will be a tough lady to beat. The word we use most associated with her | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
is just tough, calls herself the iron Lady, so many events, but she | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
never uses back, she puts 100% effort in all the time, always | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
working hard, with her plan to get to the big games, it should seem so | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
easy for her. I am fascinated by Hosszu's stroke, it is like | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
clockwork mouse, really fast turnover, quite a high fast | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
clockwork mouse, really fast turnover, much different, much | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
longer, more powerful, slower, turnover, much different, much | :10:29. | :10:36. | |
very effective. Siobhan-Marie O Connor second, Verrazsto third. | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
very effective. Siobhan-Marie O is not answer -- | :10:44. | :10:45. | |
very effective. Siobhan-Marie O as other backed brokers but very | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
effective. She is Olympic champion at the 200 backstroke but O Connor | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
is a superb breaststroke, if she could swim that hundred breaststroke | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
internationally, she is chasing down Hosszu. She is an excellent | :11:04. | :11:14. | |
freestyler, she could focus on the 200 freestyle and do well. That is | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
why she is good at the medley, she is excellent at the individual | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
strokes. But Hosszu digging deep now. Hosszu never | :11:21. | :11:41. | |
seems to go slow. Very fast in final of course. Here is this | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
freestyle, longer and more rangy than the backstroke that goes round | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
and round, but goodness, it was effective. The winner, Hosszu of | :11:48. | :11:49. | |
Hungary, second, Siobhan-Marie O Connor of Britain, good swim from | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
her, and Evelyn Verraszto of hungry comes third, and they will certainly | :11:52. | :11:53. | |
make it through to the final tomorrow evening. It will be a good | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
final. Why does she go so fast every time? She is world champion | :11:57. | :12:17. | |
world record-holder, though she need to? That is what she is practising, | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
it is about making it easy come the Olympic Games, she works hard all | :12:21. | :12:22. | |
the time, never gives up, never slows down and pulling away from | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
Siobhan-Marie in the early stages. The result of the 200 metres medley | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
semifinal. I believe Sharron Davies is now talking to Hannah Miley. For | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
someone who it is not their favourite event, pretty good swim. | :12:38. | :12:45. | |
It was all right, good speed for me. Really hard to try and get on with | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
it so it is nice to be hitting those times and I | :12:50. | :13:09. | |
hope it is good enough with the final -- for the final. The tempo | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
always changes, do you have a stroke you rely on to pull back on? Depends | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
what kind of day I am having. At the moment I'm not too bad, breaststroke | :13:17. | :13:18. | |
is slow so it is good to have that, but it changes depending on my | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
fatigue levels and where I am at the stage of the year. It's all right. | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
See you tomorrow. We heard Hannah saying she has different days but in | :13:25. | :13:35. | |
the final, Siobhan-Marie, Hannah and Hosszu will line up, what effect | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
will that have on the British girls? I think it is really good for want | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
Mac because this is her major event, good experience for Rio. | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
Siobhan-Marie is with Sharron fantastic swim, looking strong, can | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
you catch her? I am just trying to work on the process. We have been | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
training really hard into this meet. The home crowd support, it helps to | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
get through that pain. I was really happy with that. I thought I would | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
maybe go a bit quicker tomorrow night and see if I can push her | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
more, but it is great to swim out here. Trying to work on everything | :14:15. | :14:23. | |
here. The final preparation for the big one in the summer. Basically you | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
have do touch it on the breaststroke pretty much level, haven't you? Yes, | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
basically. I know there are a few things I can change. I just tried to | :14:32. | :14:39. | |
stick with the first three legs. She powers | :14:40. | :14:53. | |
through so I have to backend my race and stay with her as much as I can. | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
It is a great finish and it is good to race with the best in Europe and | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
home support is amazing. Good luck, and we will be cheering for you | :15:02. | :15:03. | |
tomorrow. Sharron Davies, you won this event when you were 16, you won | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
a Commonwealth gold medal, talk us through, now that Siobhan-Marie and | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
Hannah are out of earshot, where do you think this race will be won and | :15:13. | :15:13. | |
lost? She would not tell us what two | :15:14. | :15:26. | |
races, and I think it will be the IMs because she is a multitalented | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
athlete. I think that Siobhan and Hannah will both have to take on in | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
the 200 and 400. They are capable of it and in past actually, Hosszu has | :15:37. | :15:52. | |
got it wrong. She will have to be a good on breast Rojava chance of | :15:53. | :16:02. | |
beating her. It is very noisy year. It is fantastic. This crowd is | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
behind everybody. Bias-mac noisy here. You have to do your own race | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
and that is the thing about an individual medley. You change tempo | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
and you have to realise you're going to move up and down -- it is very | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
noisy look beta-mac. You cannot be too reflective on what | :16:17. | :16:28. | |
everyone else is doing. You have to swim your own race but at the same | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
time it is still a race. About beating that next person. Thank you | :16:32. | :16:39. | |
very much for that, Sharron. Earlier on it was that men's freestyle, | :16:40. | :16:47. | |
rejoining, and Gregorio is way out in front. He is inside world record | :16:48. | :17:04. | |
pace, but there is extraordinary pace here. Can Paltrinieri find | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
something like that in the closing stages? | :17:11. | :17:12. | |
COMMENTATOR: He is hammering down this last 15. He will be right on | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
the world record. He has smashed his own European record. He is the world | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
champion, the European champion, the European record-holder and the crowd | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
are going nuts in the background. The world record stands at 14.31.02 | :17:26. | :17:32. | |
and he is just outside of that. He has broken his own European record | :17:33. | :17:40. | |
by a fill five seconds and that was about ten weeks' to go until the | :17:41. | :17:42. | |
Olympic Games is absolutely incredible. -- throw-mac five | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
seconds. A new record for Gregorio Paltrinieri Italy to win the men's | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
1500 metres freestyle, just off the world record. | :17:55. | :18:05. | |
HELEN SKELTON: From 30 lengths of this pool down to four. He has not | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
had a mostly forward of weeks but if we cast remains back to last year, | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
2015 was a belter... COMMENTATOR: He has got it, he has | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
got it! The gold medal goes to James Guy. An utterly brilliant swim. | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
World champion, 200 metres freestyle, well done, sir! Do not | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
see myself as James Guy, the champion. I go to training every | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
day, work my backside off and that is it. It has not sunk in yet, no. I | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
remember winning but it did not get into my head yet. I am sure it will | :18:42. | :18:49. | |
one day. Now world champion, 200m freestyle. You are the world | :18:50. | :18:56. | |
champion, James, well done. Since you demand of the scene there has | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
been this wave of success. What is that like? Been part of the British | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
team, Siobhan as well, the young guns coming through. The mood and | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
the theme is different than London. A lot of young guys coming through | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
whereas before there were a lot of veterans are tired now. The attitude | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
was different. Hopefully we can deliver in Rio de Janeiro. World | :19:16. | :19:22. | |
champion is one thing but an Olympic champion is another and I am sure | :19:23. | :19:24. | |
that is motivating you know? Of course. Obviously I want to do the | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
team proud as well but as long as I go there, enjoy the experience and | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
raise it as high as I can, I will be happy. We were expecting James Guy | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
to be in the freestyle final tonight. Here's what happened this | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
morning... James Guy is in the white cap in lane four, nowhere near | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
qualifying. It was hard. I knew it would be. When you said try | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
something new, what was that? Skivvies for the heat. Usually | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
people don't wear that but I thought I would try to wear skimpies to | :20:02. | :20:09. | |
think, if I felt bad in Rio de Janeiro on the first day, it would | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
feel bad then. Normally you would at least want to progress to the final | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
if you're going to take that risk of not wearing a suit and it did not | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
pay off. That was his best chance and he wants to swim at as many | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
times as possible before Rio de Janeiro and that is one chance | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
missed. Don't think I will wear them ever again! | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
COMMENTATOR: This is much better from James Guy, you really is | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
fighting down this last ten. The Guy is back! | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
HELEN SKELTON: Let's catch up with our commentators. Karen, James has | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
already qualified for the Olympics where will his head be coming into | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
this competition? An interesting one because coming into an event like | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
this not arrested, we know it takes a physical toll but the | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
psychological toll can be pretty hard as well. You need pretty clear | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
goals and know exactly what you're aiming for so if you do not quite | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
achieve the positions and the times you can sit down with you court and | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
take the positives out of that otherwise with just ten weeks to go | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
until a major championship, it could have a bit of a knock-on effect -- | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
sit down with your coach. I have never heard so many people speaking | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
about what a swimmer is wearing but it is particularly relevant here. | :21:24. | :21:31. | |
Why? He just wore a little skimpy suit, and very brave move, I have to | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
say. It kind of says, I am good enough not to need to wear a racing | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
suit. It did not quite work for him. I think one of the interesting | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
things is when you are in really heavy training, the first thing to | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
go is your speed and the field disappears. For a big race fully | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
rested he will quite nice and comfortable and do his stuff but not | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
rested, that really does hurt and you have to work it really hard. I | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
think he just slightly mis-dubstep and with those little skimpies on as | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
well, he has probably learned a very big lesson, I would suggest -- I | :22:05. | :22:18. | |
think he just slightly misjudged it. The men's 200 meter freestyle final, | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
coming up. COMMENTATOR: There is the fastest | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
qualifier, and for me the big big danger for the gold medal in this | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
men's 200m freestyle. Fifth in the World Championships, which James Guy | :22:33. | :22:39. | |
so wonderfully won last year. Here is James Guy in the blue hat. You | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
can clearly see he is unshaved. Goodness, heavens! | :22:47. | :22:47. | |
LAUGHTER A serious speed bump on his face and | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
in ten weeks time that will be absolutely as smooth as a baby's arm | :22:52. | :22:58. | |
and he will be very fast indeed. So right in the centre, of Holland, | :22:59. | :23:11. | |
Verschuren, Stjepanovic of Serbia, and in number three, James Guy of | :23:12. | :23:18. | |
Great Britain. Three, four and five are the big guys. James Guy, | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
Sebastiaan Verschuren and Velimir Stjepanovic of Serbia. It will be | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
very interesting indeed. In the heats, James Guy work this really | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
hard. He really worked it out I think it paid off. Totally dead. | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
That was the key for me, that he learned a lesson, it didn't go to | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
plan, the part it and got on with the next job and did not make a | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
mistake again. That was superb for him. It will be great if you can get | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
on the podium. That really would boost confidence and everything | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
going into the games, but a tough field. The swimmers are taking this | :23:53. | :24:00. | |
race on. You can see in the shop there with that blue hat on and he | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
is in a good position at the moment. Sort of, as expected, Stjepanovic is | :24:04. | :24:11. | |
leading. Stjepanovic is no first. Slightly surprising, Koski in second | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
place at the moment, but right in there is James Guy,... Yes, right in | :24:17. | :24:23. | |
the next, and Stjepanovic was not able to keep his race going in the | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
400, dropping off in the closing stages, so perhaps we will see the | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
same -- see the same because Verschuren, the one really committed | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
in the semifinals, the 27-year-old, experienced, with the finish. James | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
Guy now has an absolute chance to this last 50 metres. The white hat | :24:41. | :24:48. | |
of Stjepanovic and then one lane also device-mac is Verschuren of | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
Holland, and then James Guy. Stjepanovic is holding an very well | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
indeed -- one lane closer device-mac. It looks like Verschuren | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
may get in their... Verschuren get the touch, the gold to Verschuren, | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
the European champion, the silver to Stjepanovic, and I have to say that | :25:09. | :25:11. | |
is a very impressive bronze medal for James Guy. He has come back. | :25:12. | :25:18. | |
Very tired, very un-rested and he has grabbed a bronze medal. That was | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
superb from James Guy. Really proud of him. He really tough that out and | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
you could say it was hiding in the closing stages. He was looking at | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
the other swimmers and he dug deep. It was Stjepanovic who got away | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
best. Lately most likely did in that 400, but again he could not hold on, | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
and Verschuren, so experienced, he claimed it to perfection. James Guy | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
in there for bronze. He is happy with that gold, isn't he? Goodness | :25:49. | :25:57. | |
me. Sebastiaan Verschuren beats Great Britain's world champion into | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
third place. Verschuren gets the gold but he was very tight indeed. | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
Stjepanovic gets the silver and James Guy gets the brand. -- the | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
bronze. What a scrap at the end there. I bet he didn't enjoy that, | :26:12. | :26:20. | |
James Guy? Definitely. Hard training for a these races and it is not as | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
smooth as you to be. From his semifinal the matter is final, you | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
got quicker each round and that is what he will have to do in the | :26:30. | :26:32. | |
Olympic games. He raced a tough race there and, as he said there, they | :26:33. | :26:40. | |
will be smooth as a baby's arm for Rio. He is still on rested so that | :26:41. | :26:43. | |
should give him a good confidence boost ahead of the Olympics. We | :26:44. | :26:50. | |
spoke a lot about the physicality and the rest of it but I do not | :26:51. | :26:53. | |
believe someone like James Guy, he has not had a huge profile for a lot | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
of years and this week will have been mentally tiring for him. Sure, | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
but great experience. The 400 was not what he wanted but he came back, | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
he bounced back, you know, only a second off his best. That in hard | :27:08. | :27:14. | |
training of that distance, it is unbelievable. He won the World | :27:15. | :27:17. | |
Championship last year on a second faster. one thing james guy gives | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
you every race, he works hard to that while. And it really hurt him | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
but that is what he did at World Championship, working hard for that | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
last 15, it is the difference between winning and losing races. he | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
will be pleased with that. keeping an eye on his dead, -- his dad, and | :27:34. | :27:40. | |
he was not enjoying that! laughter | :27:41. | :27:46. | |
was thinking, come on, come on. said on another day guy family to be | :27:47. | :27:52. | |
road. Let's turn to the women's breaststroke. Meilutyte has owned | :27:53. | :27:59. | |
this race in previous times but she has just come back from injuries | :28:00. | :28:05. | |
were taking into consideration what to -- consideration. And watch out | :28:06. | :28:09. | |
for the British girls, Chloe Tutton and Molly Renshaw. | :28:10. | :28:22. | |
COMMENTATOR: The finalists of the 100m women's freestyle. The world | :28:23. | :28:29. | |
and Olympic champion, Rita Meilutyte, in Lane four. There she | :28:30. | :28:40. | |
is, the champion, she won the Olympic Games aged 15. We were | :28:41. | :28:45. | |
speaking to her coach John Wright just yesterday. At 19 years of age | :28:46. | :28:51. | |
she is coming back to defend the 100m Olympic title. Quite | :28:52. | :28:55. | |
extraordinary. Bet she loves coming back to swim here. What amazing | :28:56. | :29:00. | |
memories. Just a 15-year-old kid and since then, last year, she broke her | :29:01. | :29:04. | |
elbow after following off her bike, on her way to morning training. If | :29:05. | :29:09. | |
anything, so tough to come back from that. The | :29:10. | :29:13. | |
anything, so tough to come back from well to qualify for this final. | :29:14. | :29:17. | |
Chloe Tutton in lane two. One lane from the bottom. Molly Renshaw right | :29:18. | :29:23. | |
Chloe Tutton in lane two. One lane at the bottom. At the top, Fiona | :29:24. | :29:31. | |
Doyle of Ireland. Take your marks... The final of the women's 100m press | :29:32. | :29:39. | |
talk at these European Championship and the women who swam in this lane | :29:40. | :29:45. | |
to win the title, route amelia deedes, what a great start she has | :29:46. | :29:49. | |
had. every time i see this girl start i wonder how she can be so | :29:50. | :29:53. | |
quick -- meilutyte. you rarely see any of the male sprinters off blocks | :29:54. | :30:00. | |
as quick as that. And the power she has, extraordinary, and | :30:01. | :30:02. | |
as quick as that. And the power she seem to be showing any effects of | :30:03. | :30:04. | |
the two seem to be showing any effects of | :30:05. | :30:11. | |
ago. Meilutyte, and seem to be showing any effects of | :30:12. | :30:16. | |
a super time there as well -- master starter. Molly Renshaw is also going | :30:17. | :30:22. | |
well, as is Fiona Doyle, but it is really all about Route Amelia eight, | :30:23. | :30:27. | |
coming back a little bit -- Meilutyte. Goodness me, very | :30:28. | :30:31. | |
impressive stuff. She has about five metres to go no. -- now. The | :30:32. | :30:39. | |
European champion, the one she has never won before, Ruta Meilutyte, | :30:40. | :30:47. | |
about the time she did in the semifinals, she went down so | :30:48. | :30:52. | |
about the time she did in the quickly, finally she has won the 100 | :30:53. | :30:58. | |
metres at the European Championships. I wonder if she will | :30:59. | :31:01. | |
be back on the Olympic podium in ten weeks' time to claim that gold | :31:02. | :31:07. | |
medal? There we see that exceptional start Meilutyte has, take note of | :31:08. | :31:15. | |
that. That power under water, no problem with the elbow there. My | :31:16. | :31:20. | |
goodness, I was feeling that in the closing stages! So Ruta Meilutyte a | :31:21. | :31:35. | |
finally wins her first 100 metres European title, a silver to | :31:36. | :31:36. | |
Luthersdottir, and look what happened in the bronze, what a | :31:37. | :31:39. | |
brilliant swim from Chloe Tutton to win the bronze. STUDIO: You know | :31:40. | :31:50. | |
Andy is impressed when he goes high-pitched! Hats off to Ruta, that | :31:51. | :31:52. | |
injury is significant, she couldn't bend it not long ago but that race | :31:53. | :31:57. | |
for us was about Chloe Tutton. Her best races the 200 metres. We saw at | :31:58. | :32:06. | |
the Olympic trials a month ago the time she posted there was fourth in | :32:07. | :32:09. | |
the world this year, she will have got a silver at the world champions | :32:10. | :32:17. | |
as last year for the 200 so everyone thinks she is 200, but we saw | :32:18. | :32:20. | |
Meilutyte out in front, a close race, only .5 between third and | :32:21. | :32:22. | |
eighth, so anyone for the taking, so the endurance of the 200 helps. It | :32:23. | :32:36. | |
was two races. Meilutyte didn't have it all her way towards the end. She | :32:37. | :32:39. | |
was as Bede merchant going out and the heat times had only .5 of the | :32:40. | :32:42. | |
second separating second to eighth, so it would be tight at the end. As | :32:43. | :32:52. | |
Becky said, if you watch Chloe and Molly towards the end, stroke for | :32:53. | :32:54. | |
stroke coming back, which is great for Chloe and the girls in general | :32:55. | :32:57. | |
because Molly had the best time in the semifinal. They are progressing | :32:58. | :32:59. | |
which is good going into Rio. Earlier this week we look for the | :33:00. | :33:05. | |
names heading to Rio and Chloe is not a surprise inclusion but not | :33:06. | :33:08. | |
many people know. Let's hear from her. Would you have said six months | :33:09. | :33:20. | |
ago you would be a European bronze medallist? I wouldn't have believed | :33:21. | :33:22. | |
you! That race was amazing. I didn't expect to do best time so was over | :33:23. | :33:26. | |
the moon. It was about conviction, you knew you had the 200 metres | :33:27. | :33:33. | |
strength and did an amazing swing race -- swim recently. I knew I | :33:34. | :33:36. | |
would come back stronger than most would, | :33:37. | :33:52. | |
and I knew I would be patient and stick it through. You have made such | :33:53. | :33:56. | |
"Mince recently, is there more space for improvement ten weeks before | :33:57. | :33:58. | |
Rio? Fingers crossed, I only ever try my best. Very well done. Bronze | :33:59. | :34:00. | |
for Chloe Tutton, congratulations, and more for her later in the week, | :34:01. | :34:10. | |
but another bronze courtesy of James Guy who caught up with Sharron a | :34:11. | :34:12. | |
moment ago. You must be pleased with that swim, had there been another 20 | :34:13. | :34:20. | |
metres you would have had them both. I am pleased with that one. Your dad | :34:21. | :34:23. | |
said if you break 47 you will be pleased. Yes, getting close to Rio I | :34:24. | :34:29. | |
hope I can progress onto the summer. Being not rested and not shaved, is | :34:30. | :34:36. | |
that way you see the difference, you don't have the initial speed the | :34:37. | :34:39. | |
endurance? When you rest you have more twitch and more speed. If I can | :34:40. | :34:47. | |
rest I can take it on. What will it take at the Olympics because you | :34:48. | :34:52. | |
might have Michael Phelps? To race him would be an honour but I think | :34:53. | :34:56. | |
it will be a for the finish line and it will be tough. Well done for | :34:57. | :35:02. | |
digging so deep and we will see later in the week for the relay. The | :35:03. | :35:07. | |
crowd here have been amazing so thank you very much for supporting | :35:08. | :35:12. | |
us and you sport for bringing it to us. Thank you to the guys here. | :35:13. | :35:17. | |
Congratulations to James Guy, bronze medal. We are in the middle of the | :35:18. | :35:24. | |
men's 200 beta fly semifinals. COMMENTATOR: Liess of Switzerland | :35:25. | :35:34. | |
looking comfortable at the moment, starting to come through as the | :35:35. | :35:42. | |
fastest qualifier in the centre, Kenderesi of Hungary. Pretty close | :35:43. | :35:50. | |
at the halfway point, all about pacing on the 200 butterfly, | :35:51. | :36:08. | |
just don't want to gone out to hard. Very painful in the closing stages | :36:09. | :36:11. | |
if you get that wrong. All these distance freestylers claim their | :36:12. | :36:13. | |
raises the toughest but if you have ever done a 200 butterfly, the | :36:14. | :36:16. | |
challenge is to get your whole body out and get your breath. If you | :36:17. | :36:23. | |
can't get your body out you don't get any air, then it starts getting | :36:24. | :36:25. | |
difficult very quickly indeed. These guys looking tough down this last | :36:26. | :36:36. | |
50. Just 17, Carinil, not experienced, and the Hungarian | :36:37. | :36:38. | |
Kenderesi starting to challenge. Look at him coming through in the | :36:39. | :36:42. | |
closing stages. So Kenderesi wins the first semifinal of the men's 200 | :36:43. | :36:53. | |
metres butterfly. Worked the third 50 metres and came back on the last | :36:54. | :36:59. | |
50. Kenderesi will see his compatriot go in the second | :37:00. | :37:10. | |
semifinal. He is a supreme 200 butterfly swimmer. European | :37:11. | :37:11. | |
record-holder. Look how tight that streamline is. They have to make the | :37:12. | :37:17. | |
most of it, the power coming off the wall, you have to make the most of | :37:18. | :37:24. | |
every centimetre. The first semifinal of the men's 200 fly. | :37:25. | :37:30. | |
Under 158 will get in. Cseh the fastest qualifier. He is in | :37:31. | :37:57. | |
four. We have seen interesting tactics from Cseh in these | :37:58. | :38:02. | |
championships. He blasted the heats of the 200 medley. He concentrated | :38:03. | :38:10. | |
on the 50 butterfly instead. I can understand why you would do that, | :38:11. | :38:13. | |
the 50 butterfly is not an Olympic event, so maybe he just wanted a | :38:14. | :38:23. | |
bash at about one. What a wimp! LAUGHTER. We can say that when we | :38:24. | :38:27. | |
are a long way away! Here he is, Laszlo Cseh, the European | :38:28. | :38:30. | |
record-holder, the world champion in 200 metres butterfly. Supreme, a | :38:31. | :38:36. | |
brilliant medley swimmer. I think he would be known as one of the | :38:37. | :38:40. | |
greatest swimmers were it not for Michael Phelps. I think it is one of | :38:41. | :38:45. | |
the worst days of his life when that news came out that Michael Phelps | :38:46. | :38:56. | |
was making a comeback. It can't be easy, can it, Phelps, 22 Olympic | :38:57. | :38:59. | |
medals, 18 of them gold, two silvers and two bronzes, and many of those, | :39:00. | :39:03. | |
Cseh was on the podium behind him, but just could not be the greatest | :39:04. | :39:13. | |
of all time, the Goat that is Michael Phelps. There is Cseh. | :39:14. | :39:25. | |
Pretty streamlined, I wonder if his goggles strap slips | :39:26. | :39:43. | |
butterfly, the second semifinal of the men's 200 fly. Laszlo Cseh, the | :39:44. | :39:47. | |
European champion goes in four. No surprise to see him leading. He | :39:48. | :39:50. | |
seems to have been committed to all his races, not sitting back, good | :39:51. | :39:52. | |
preparation for the Olympics. He is out like a shot here. Great to see | :39:53. | :39:56. | |
so many swimmers doing it, it's what they have to do. Inside the split by | :39:57. | :40:05. | |
nearly four 10th so taking this race on, can he keep it going? As you | :40:06. | :40:09. | |
said earlier, you don't want to get the pace wrong. Not but I have sworn | :40:10. | :40:13. | |
it very often but I have seen it go wrong for others. I still have | :40:14. | :40:31. | |
nightmares years later. Normally on a 200 fly... Terrible turban... You | :40:32. | :40:33. | |
really pays the first 50, make sure it is comfortable then pick it up | :40:34. | :40:36. | |
from there but he was working very hard indeed. That is not a bad time. | :40:37. | :40:41. | |
Great to see, such hard work, the training that goes into the 200 fly, | :40:42. | :40:54. | |
and he is still motivated to do it. He thought maybe he should change | :40:55. | :40:56. | |
events. Fair play to him that he can still be motivated. He dropped off | :40:57. | :41:04. | |
the pace a little, but great swimming from Cseh. It looked like | :41:05. | :41:15. | |
Bronner of Denmark was catching up with him but I think that turn took | :41:16. | :41:21. | |
something out of him. Cseh, head down in the last five minutes, | :41:22. | :41:28. | |
goodness me, amazing discipline. Cseh wins, Bromer second, Switkowski | :41:29. | :41:42. | |
bird. He did it the hard way, took the race on. Great at the start. | :41:43. | :41:52. | |
Making the most of the term. Look at that, take so much out of you, doing | :41:53. | :42:00. | |
that butterfly kick! Perfection at the finish. White so a new | :42:01. | :42:06. | |
championship record for Laszlo Cseh in the second semifinal of the men's | :42:07. | :42:14. | |
200 fly. Cseh will be fastest into the final comfortably. So here are | :42:15. | :42:22. | |
the finalists for tomorrow night, Cseh will be in four. That will be | :42:23. | :42:29. | |
an interesting final, tactically fascinating. | :42:30. | :42:42. | |
STUDIO: Let's talk about Laszlo Cseh because of you look at his career | :42:43. | :42:46. | |
and his titles, he's had five medals at Olympic Games but no golds, 12 at | :42:47. | :42:49. | |
World Championships, he's had 12 gold medals, | :42:50. | :43:05. | |
so he is winning big competitions, but on that world stage, there are | :43:06. | :43:09. | |
really impressive dudes who keep getting there before him, do we | :43:10. | :43:11. | |
reckon he is the only one disappointed about Michael Phelps's | :43:12. | :43:13. | |
comeback? The whole of the swimming world were happy and he is at home | :43:14. | :43:16. | |
crying because he thought when Phelps retired, Rio was his chance | :43:17. | :43:18. | |
to get that medal, and now he has made a comeback, years, like, | :43:19. | :43:25. | |
dammit, especially as he has switched to butterfly. I feel really | :43:26. | :43:27. | |
sorry for him! And other big names in the medley. It is probably a bit | :43:28. | :43:30. | |
like tennis when you have Nadal, Murray and Federer. He has got all | :43:31. | :43:36. | |
of them. When can I have my moment? It would have been, those three | :43:37. | :43:41. | |
silvers were to Phelps. Let's acknowledge the length of his | :43:42. | :43:53. | |
career, there were ten years between two of his world titles, won last | :43:54. | :43:56. | |
year and in 2005, I know in different events. But to win a world | :43:57. | :43:59. | |
title twice with a 10-year gap, that is impressive for any sport, an | :44:00. | :44:10. | |
acknowledgement of his athleticism. Unbelievable, not many athletes can | :44:11. | :44:12. | |
do that in any sport especially swimming, and he hasn't aged, he | :44:13. | :44:14. | |
looks great! He obviously works hard and badly wants the success, that is | :44:15. | :44:18. | |
why he has carried on probably, probably not wanting to hang his | :44:19. | :44:26. | |
goggles up until he has that Olympic success. The secret might have been | :44:27. | :44:27. | |
a bald-headed! It is a look I am not willing to try! I used to race him a | :44:28. | :44:45. | |
lot. He used to come down to the 50 and I could see him off but now... | :44:46. | :44:48. | |
He had to drop that in there! It is time now to talk about the | :44:49. | :44:50. | |
achievements of another member of the team. However many podium | :44:51. | :44:55. | |
finishes Britain gets. The next generation of stars are being | :44:56. | :45:05. | |
inspired always, schools and swimming clubs have been coming here | :45:06. | :45:07. | |
being very loud and proud. You are never too young to compete at the | :45:08. | :45:10. | |
highest level. This is Sharron Davies. | :45:11. | :45:13. | |
water, my dad talks about this memory he has of me, I don't | :45:14. | :45:30. | |
remember it, I was so young, but he said that three years old I threw | :45:31. | :45:33. | |
myself in and he had to sprint from the other end to get me out. She | :45:34. | :45:36. | |
always loved the water, we're lucky in Plymouth because there were a lot | :45:37. | :45:37. | |
of beaches and Paul's. My original teacher was Bill | :45:38. | :45:47. | |
Clements. Then the coach got ill and there was nobody else to take over. | :45:48. | :45:52. | |
Dad did not take over coaching me until I was about ten. The only way | :45:53. | :45:57. | |
we could get early morning swimming was basically in the open pool. The | :45:58. | :46:03. | |
local authority said, OK, you can comment, the open the pool, turned | :46:04. | :46:07. | |
the lights on, we did that. -- you can come in. I remember us have to | :46:08. | :46:13. | |
swim up and down the pool when people were swimming withs so we had | :46:14. | :46:16. | |
to dodge them all the time. We trained on Christmas Day if we had | :46:17. | :46:23. | |
to. Swimming is a very disciplined sport, you know. You cannot do it | :46:24. | :46:26. | |
just when you feel in the mood. You have to get on and get up there | :46:27. | :46:31. | |
every morning and do it. And that is a thing that a lot of children do | :46:32. | :46:36. | |
not want to be doing. There were times when I wish my mum had been | :46:37. | :46:42. | |
able to step in and calm my dad down and, you know, just make him pull | :46:43. | :46:47. | |
back a little bit because he was so hard. I do not think as a family we | :46:48. | :46:53. | |
had our holiday, you know, every single penny of family money, spare | :46:54. | :46:57. | |
money, it was bent on my swimming. By the time I was champion, sort of | :46:58. | :47:07. | |
15, think that is when the pressure came, particularly before is a | :47:08. | :47:09. | |
political Olympic Games like in Moscow. We cheered her on, were | :47:10. | :47:14. | |
pushing for all the way in that race and then of course the phone went | :47:15. | :47:18. | |
from everywhere, this feeling, and you feel that all the effort and all | :47:19. | :47:21. | |
the money and all the time, that it was worth it. Part of the feeling I | :47:22. | :47:26. | |
had when I touched the wall, it was really, you know, achievement and | :47:27. | :47:31. | |
excitement, but there was also relief that I had actually delivered | :47:32. | :47:34. | |
on all of this hard work and sacrifice. I think swimming and the | :47:35. | :47:39. | |
Olympics in particular just kind of shape to I am. I felt like I | :47:40. | :47:43. | |
belonged there. It was my space and if anything goes wrong in my life, | :47:44. | :47:47. | |
if I walk back into a swimming pool, I still belong there. Sharron, you | :47:48. | :47:58. | |
went to her first Olympics age 13. What was that like? It was amazing. | :47:59. | :48:01. | |
A lot of it, if I am honest, went What was that like? It was amazing. | :48:02. | :48:08. | |
awe of what was going on, but it was an invaluable experience four years | :48:09. | :48:10. | |
awe of what was going on, but it was later because it is the biggest | :48:11. | :48:13. | |
awe of what was going on, but it was competition in the world, this | :48:14. | :48:15. | |
immense pressure, the immense Guha and the press and all the people, | :48:16. | :48:21. | |
much more people than I was used to then watching the world coming in | :48:22. | :48:27. | |
and eating breakfast, every shape and size, lovely memories. -- | :48:28. | :48:37. | |
hoo-ha. How much does it take to get to the top in this type of sport? | :48:38. | :48:42. | |
All take training but I think a skating, those kinds were you need | :48:43. | :48:46. | |
to be up at the crack of dawn, six days a week, knocking out those kind | :48:47. | :48:54. | |
of metres in a week and that would be all year round. You may get a | :48:55. | :48:58. | |
couple of weeks off if you have been a good girl come September but it | :48:59. | :49:01. | |
does not get at tremendous amount of the limelight. The lottery has made | :49:02. | :49:05. | |
a big difference because it means athletes are properly supported and | :49:06. | :49:10. | |
we can see that. Think back to Atlanta in 1996, one gold medal, | :49:11. | :49:15. | |
then looking at London, 65 medals, hopefully even better in Rio. This | :49:16. | :49:22. | |
time of day, Sharron, there will be a lot of parents juggling with | :49:23. | :49:26. | |
school running, getting their children to clubs, what advice would | :49:27. | :49:30. | |
you give parents? You are the parent of an athlete yourself. Yes, my | :49:31. | :49:36. | |
daughter is here. Sunday rugby, track and field, we are a big | :49:37. | :49:39. | |
sporting family. You don't have to be on board as well. They were | :49:40. | :49:45. | |
incredibly hard. I bumped into James Guy's parents and jazz's parent of a | :49:46. | :49:48. | |
coffee shop. They were nervous wrecks waiting for their kids to | :49:49. | :49:52. | |
swim. They give up all their holidays, their time, the money, | :49:53. | :49:55. | |
then they are still there at five o'clock in the morning to take them | :49:56. | :49:58. | |
until they are able to drive. It is a big commitment but it is a | :49:59. | :50:03. | |
fantastic sport. I have friends from way back in 1976 when I made that | :50:04. | :50:07. | |
team and I still love it. A real privilege. 20 very much. Next up, | :50:08. | :50:13. | |
the women's 100m freestyle final. Let's speak to Karen Pickering, | :50:14. | :50:17. | |
because you won this in 1984 at the Commonwealth Games. Top us through | :50:18. | :50:24. | |
this field. Very competitive. Yes, the reigning European champion, | :50:25. | :50:29. | |
sailor Sjostrom, the reigning Olympic champion from the | :50:30. | :50:34. | |
Netherlands, part of the relay team as well, so it will be a tight race. | :50:35. | :50:41. | |
Would you like to race against them? You must be joking. These girls are | :50:42. | :50:45. | |
so fast, so strong. They can get out in this race so quickly and they can | :50:46. | :50:51. | |
still bring it back. They are strong from weights training as well as | :50:52. | :50:55. | |
being in the pool. Sarah Sjostrom is six foot one. These girls are | :50:56. | :50:58. | |
intimidating and I would not want to be anywhere near them! | :50:59. | :51:01. | |
LAUGHTER Take us through this one. | :51:02. | :51:11. | |
COMMENTATOR: It certainly is final time, and this, Kromowidjojo in | :51:12. | :51:22. | |
three, Sarah Sjostrom, world record holder, up there in six. Well, | :51:23. | :51:34. | |
Andrea Murez of Israel interesting. She used to swim for the USA and his | :51:35. | :51:40. | |
nose running for Israel. She goes in lane two. Sarah Sjostrom has already | :51:41. | :51:45. | |
won gold on the to fly and she is in very heavy training. It will be | :51:46. | :51:48. | |
really fascinating to see how these big three, and three, four and six, | :51:49. | :51:54. | |
dude. Olympic champion, she goes and three. Only third fastest qualifier | :51:55. | :51:59. | |
for the final, though. Yes, only third fastest! But these girls know | :52:00. | :52:04. | |
what they are doing. They are experienced. It is good to see run | :52:05. | :52:14. | |
only, we do back and well. -- it is good to see Ranomi backhand well. | :52:15. | :52:24. | |
And her coach is no coaching the biggest rivals, those sisters out | :52:25. | :52:28. | |
there. It seems like -- now coaching. It seems like Kromowidjojo | :52:29. | :52:33. | |
is getting back to peak form at just the right time. She looked very | :52:34. | :52:37. | |
relaxed earlier. We were watching pictures of them and Sarah Sjostrom, | :52:38. | :52:43. | |
she looked nervous and really hyped up. She still is. Interesting. Very | :52:44. | :52:52. | |
different preparation methodologies. Sjostrom, world record holder, | :52:53. | :52:54. | |
brilliant freestyler armour and there is the Olympic champion, | :52:55. | :53:01. | |
Kromowidjojo, in three, and her compatriot in four, Heemskerk, the | :53:02. | :53:12. | |
fastest qualifier. The women's 100m freestyle. A really good start from | :53:13. | :53:19. | |
Kromowidjojo in lane three. She has come up, well, maybe about half a | :53:20. | :53:23. | |
metre ahead of the field. Sjostrom insects got a very good start. | :53:24. | :53:29. | |
Kromowidjojo, the real sprinter of the screw. Sarah Sjostrom, probably | :53:30. | :53:34. | |
the best at the 200m out of all the girls in this final and she will be | :53:35. | :53:38. | |
in danger in the closing stages. Kromowidjojo get far enough in front | :53:39. | :53:41. | |
and no one will capture. Look at that. Coming back very fast indeed, | :53:42. | :53:54. | |
a really good time as well. It is run only crumby Bigelow. It will be | :53:55. | :53:59. | |
a tight last 25 -- Ranomi Kromowidjojo. Sjostrom just streaked | :54:00. | :54:09. | |
past in that last 25 metres. Sjostrom gets the gold, 52.8. | :54:10. | :54:17. | |
Impressive. She will comfortably make the final issue does that at | :54:18. | :54:21. | |
the Olympic games. Massively impressive. The gold goes to | :54:22. | :54:26. | |
Sjostrom, the silver to Kromowidjojo and the bronze to Heemskerk of | :54:27. | :54:32. | |
Holland. She had a superb start. That every thing she needed to. Nor | :54:33. | :54:36. | |
is she needs to be out in front, that is her strength. Just superb | :54:37. | :54:42. | |
speed but Sjostrom, so strong in the closing stages. What a swim. The | :54:43. | :54:51. | |
last 25 was lightning from Sjostrom. The new European champion of the | :54:52. | :54:58. | |
women's freestyle, and the silver and a bronze to Kromowidjojo and | :54:59. | :55:11. | |
Heemskerk. Very impressive, 52.8. HELEN SKELTON: Impressive, but there | :55:12. | :55:16. | |
were two big names missing for Rio. Bag yes, but mightily impressive. | :55:17. | :55:21. | |
Thinking about how much she has rested, as it were -- I think so, | :55:22. | :55:33. | |
yes. If she can get that sorted, I do not know what time she will go, | :55:34. | :55:37. | |
but the opener to the strengths. Great on the backend. Next up the | :55:38. | :55:40. | |
men's 200m medley. We do have Dan Great on the backend. Next up the | :55:41. | :55:58. | |
fired up for this and wonderful silver medal. Commonwealth champion! | :55:59. | :56:10. | |
Dan Wallace of Scotland. I will never get bored of seeing him smack | :56:11. | :56:13. | |
the water at the Commonwealth Games. A brilliant scene, bullied moment. | :56:14. | :56:15. | |
Let's speak about his A brilliant scene, bullied moment. | :56:16. | :56:19. | |
year. What you make of it? It has not been very good, to be honest, to | :56:20. | :56:24. | |
be quite frank. He went to the Olympic trials, did not swim great | :56:25. | :56:27. | |
but still made the team, wild card. He said to Sharron last night, after | :56:28. | :56:33. | |
that event, I want to prove I am not just a wild card, so he does have | :56:34. | :56:36. | |
something to prove and I do not really | :56:37. | :56:37. | |
something to prove and I do not Looking at it, he came forth at the | :56:38. | :56:42. | |
Worlds last year at this event and going in pretty much seventh, and on | :56:43. | :56:47. | |
European stage that is not great. It would be nice to see his personal | :56:48. | :56:52. | |
best is 1.57 so it would be nice to see and get down to similar | :56:53. | :56:55. | |
best is 1.57 so it would be nice to times. Just to give him some | :56:56. | :56:58. | |
confidence more than anything else. It is interesting to see, he said he | :56:59. | :56:59. | |
knows he can It is interesting to see, he said he | :57:00. | :57:03. | |
and he is somebody, looking at results over the last years, when it | :57:04. | :57:07. | |
matters he does do it, apart from in the Olympic files. If he doesn't | :57:08. | :57:12. | |
write I am not saying you can win the Olympics, he cannot, but he does | :57:13. | :57:15. | |
have the potential to do something -- if he gets it right. He has the | :57:16. | :57:24. | |
potential. Completely. Let's see what he does in this final, over two | :57:25. | :57:26. | |
Andy and Karen. COMMENTATOR: Probably the most open | :57:27. | :57:42. | |
final. Dan Wallace in one and Max Litchfield in eight. But, to be | :57:43. | :57:47. | |
frank, the gold medal could come from absolutely anywhere use the | :57:48. | :58:03. | |
fastest qualifier. Vazaios of Greece, swum a really good time at | :58:04. | :58:12. | |
1.58.4, and Dan Wallace's Beth doing best time is nine tenths of a second | :58:13. | :58:18. | |
faster. Is not best time is nine tenths of a second | :58:19. | :58:23. | |
to those in 14 series. There he is, looking so calm. Can he redeem | :58:24. | :58:27. | |
himself in this final? There is | :58:28. | :58:47. | |
fastest qualifier. European junior champion. We would certainly like to | :58:48. | :58:51. | |
go out fast. Two Portuguese, two Brits, one from Luxembourg, Israel, | :58:52. | :59:01. | |
Greece, Italy. The final of the men's 200m individual medley. | :59:02. | :59:13. | |
50 metres, butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and then front crawl. | :59:14. | :59:20. | |
Andreas Vazaios of Greece, in the centre. He did reasonably well, not | :59:21. | :59:26. | |
great. I would expect him really to take Raison. A strong fly swimmer, I | :59:27. | :59:34. | |
would respect him to use that. -- really to take this on. He was more | :59:35. | :59:38. | |
committed in the semifinal. I am surprised he is sitting back really | :59:39. | :59:43. | |
is. Dan Wallace at the bottom shot, fifth position. This is his weakest | :59:44. | :59:48. | |
of the four strokes. The backstroke not really great first organ | :59:49. | :59:52. | |
freestyle. The race starting to set in the centre in three, four and | :59:53. | :00:03. | |
five. At the halfway turn it will be Vazaios, Vazaios over a first and | :00:04. | :00:07. | |
the two Portuguese second and third. Wallace has gone from fifth to | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
eighth but this is as fastest stroke, the breast rope. It is tough | :00:12. | :00:18. | |
when the second is your strength -- the breaststroke. He is great at the | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
freestyle part of that 200m Globe winning team at the World | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
Championship body needs to be in position to use it. He is too far | :00:28. | :00:35. | |
back so it will be no use. Laszlo Cseh pulled out of the semis to | :00:36. | :00:46. | |
concentrate on other events. He has won the last five gold medals in | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
this event. Now it is really open, Vazaios leading. Look at this last | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
stroke from the BIOS. He knows what he is doing, clearly. Look how much | :00:56. | :01:03. | |
he has taken out of the field in the last 15 meters. Andreas was BIOS is | :01:04. | :01:16. | |
champion. -- Andreas Vazaios. The sink. -- the silver to Nevo of | :01:17. | :01:28. | |
Israel. An impressive swim, fascinating, | :01:29. | :01:40. | |
up 1.58.18, 158.00 was Cseh in the heats. 100th of a second. That would | :01:41. | :01:52. | |
have been a great race. Vazaios ended up having to some that on his | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
own, well clear in the closing stages. Wallace was coming back | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
strong. The new European champion, Andreas | :02:02. | :02:12. | |
Vazaios of Greece, Gal Nevo, the Silva, Santos the bronze. STUDIO: I | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
know you feel harsh saying Dan is not having his best season but that | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
is a fact. Can he turn it around? Yes, he's just frustrated because we | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
want him to achieve his potential. He does step up at a major reason, | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
if he is not swimming great I wanted to be now and great at Rio but it | :02:30. | :02:37. | |
would be great for him and everyone to get confidence from that. To be | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
three seconds off your personal best, the worrying thing is the | :02:40. | :02:51. | |
4/200 relay. What is not clicking? I don't | :02:52. | :03:02. | |
know what he has done, whether he has had injuries leading to the | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
trials or whether they tried different training in the States, | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
but what have really is doing, change it, there is time, ten weeks | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
is a long time to get things right. I know Max came second but | :03:12. | :03:31. | |
he was on form, so take positives from that, but Daniel needs to do | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
what he does best which is swimming well at major meetings. Let's talk | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
about potential, let's talk about breaststroke is. In a sense we are | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
victims of our success because we did expect Andrew Willis in the | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
semifinals of the 200 meter breaststroke. He is not because | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
there are only two slots per country so we have Murdoch and Benson who | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
trained together. We said yesterday we feel sorry for Murdoch because he | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
is usually in Adam Peaty's shadow. He is not in anybody's shadow | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
tonight. Murdoch will take the gold for Scotland, brilliant swim. | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
Commonwealth champion. Going well at the bottom. Goodness me, he came | :04:03. | :04:10. | |
back so well. I wonder if he can get the silver. Ross Murdoch, the | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
Scottish champion, has just stolen the silver medal in that last 25. | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
Ross and Craig trained together, is their psychological benefit coming | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
to a big meet with pressure and expectation in having your buddy | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
alongside you? It is nice because you can push each other. Craig has | :04:32. | :04:43. | |
now qualified for the 200 metres. Ross is going to Rio for the | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
hundred, and it gets confusing but they are obviously pulling each | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
other and I think Ross will feel at home tonight doing the 200 metres. | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
They will feel relaxed, having their team-mate will make them relaxed. We | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
will see who comes out on top. 200 metres breaststroke is not fun, | :04:59. | :05:08. | |
though. Let's see how fun it is, it is time for the semifinals of the | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
men's 200 meter breaststroke. COMMENTATOR: Matson of Sweden the | :05:14. | :05:26. | |
fastest. These guys need to be fast because the second semifinal is | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
loaded. The second semifinal had the advantage of seeing what their | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
swimmers need to do to make it through. | :05:37. | :05:50. | |
Some people specialise in the hundreds and move up to the 200. It | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
is important that they don't take it hundreds and move up to the 200. It | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
on too quickly but they need to play to their strengths. You see the lid | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
off and change significantly in the closing stages of breaststroke as | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
off and change significantly in the stroke and technique, they get tight | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
and start polishing the water, not making the | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
long glide, almost effortless. Certainly does, and write down at | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
the bottom, on paper he has no right to be there but he is looking good, | :06:23. | :06:34. | |
second fastest at the halfway mark. Mattsson looks like he is hunched up | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
and tenths, but he kept Mattsson looks like he is hunched up | :06:37. | :06:46. | |
morning, impressive. And unusual stroke, much lower in the water. | :06:47. | :06:55. | |
morning, impressive. And unusual Compare him to Doran off, you can | :06:56. | :06:56. | |
really see Compare him to Doran off, you can | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
himself out of the water. Mattsson so much flatter. Almost like the old | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
style of breaststroke in the 60s when there were very flat. You | :07:05. | :07:16. | |
amazing, look at the distance he gets with every kick, the rest | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
amazing, look at the distance he the field starting to get in. If he | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
can keep this going, he has a great chance of making the final, | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
Samilidis. Mattsson WinZip very close. Mattsson second, Samilidis | :07:31. | :07:49. | |
bird. -- bird. My goodness, that will be tight. You said it is a big | :07:50. | :07:57. | |
advantage to go in the second semifinal and seeing those times | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
now, under 2.11.2 and you are in. They have to look at those times | :08:02. | :08:13. | |
feeling confident, certainly the two British swimmers. So the result of | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
the first semifinal, as expected, Mattsson of Finland wins it. The | :08:16. | :08:24. | |
second semifinal, Britain's Ross Murdoch and Craig Benson and five | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
and six but the world number one in four, Marco Koch. The second | :08:31. | :08:46. | |
semifinal of the men's 200 metres breaststroke at the European | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
Championships 2016 and two Brits in it in five and six, Murdoch and | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
Benson, Murdoch already got a silver medal on the 100 breaststroke last | :08:52. | :08:53. | |
night. Tactics here will be interesting. Absolutely, you have | :08:54. | :09:01. | |
the 200 specialists, if you like, Murdoch, so strong in the closing | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
stages. Over the last couple of years it has been the hundred he has | :09:06. | :09:15. | |
been performing on the world stage and he hasn't managed to get on the | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
team for the 200. You won't see him swim it in Rio. Those places go to | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
Benson and Willis, so we will have to watch, but the European | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
Championships with four swimmers allowed to swimming heat, although | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
disappointing that the likes of Willis cannot progress, it gives | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
more swimmers an opportunity to race on the big stage and makes the heat | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
is faster. They have to go for it. So halfway in the second semifinal | :09:39. | :09:48. | |
of the men's 200 meter breaststroke. World Koch second -- world champion | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
Koch second. Murdoch is well placed. A little bit of work still to go for | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
Benson if he wants to make this final. He is three from the top and | :10:01. | :10:13. | |
has work to do but came back very well in the heap this morning. He | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
did. It looks like he is working very hard at the moment, the | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
difference between three swimmers in the pool. Looks so much more | :10:19. | :10:19. | |
comfortable. Murdoch nicely placed. Finishes strong, Koch still looks | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
smooth through the water, but Murdoch needs to just pick up the | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
pace, I think he will be safely through to the final, but he will | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
want to get a win from the semi-. Murdoch at the top of those three | :10:36. | :10:48. | |
guys, just going into the lead, not one up from him is Benson with work | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
to do to make the final but it looks like it may be, Murdoch gets the | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
touch and 209.7 is very quick indeed. Good for Benson because that | :10:55. | :11:03. | |
was a very quick second semi. I will have to check to see if he has made | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
that final but it's going to be very tight indeed. Seventh, eighth and | :11:08. | :11:17. | |
ninth or very close indeed. The finished there, big glide from Ross, | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
but not a great friend -ish from Marco Koch. There is confirmation of | :11:20. | :11:29. | |
the qualifiers. Looks like Benson will end up nine. Great swim, kind | :11:30. | :11:40. | |
of bittersweet in an odd way, isn't it? Yes, a little. Came in with a | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
few Demons my back from a few weeks ago. I had a really good time out | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
there today. Is this about you proving a point for tomorrow, would | :11:49. | :12:00. | |
you want to swim this in Rio? I would love to but at the end of the | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
day it is all about who swims it at the benchmark meet. I am in no shape | :12:05. | :12:06. | |
or form to say who should or shouldn't, but | :12:07. | :12:20. | |
certainly I believe I am in the best shape possible to swim it. The final | :12:21. | :12:22. | |
of that one is tomorrow night. Now it is time for the 100 metre women's | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
backstroke semifinal. COMMENTATOR: Look who is there, the defending | :12:26. | :12:33. | |
champion, Hosszu. Georgia Davies next to her in three. | :12:34. | :12:58. | |
Slovakia in five. Hosszu in four, big favourite for this semi. Great | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
Britain's, Lord champion of 50 metres backstroke Georgia Davies, | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
expected to go out quickly, good start. It was a good start, three | :13:07. | :13:18. | |
from the bottom. Superb for her, she needs to make the most of her speed | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
because Hosszu is so strong in the closing stages. George, who swam in | :13:22. | :13:30. | |
the heats of the mixed medley relay, good opening leg then. Needs a good | :13:31. | :13:32. | |
turn here, Davis over first, what a great turn, using 13 and a half of | :13:33. | :13:44. | |
the 15 underwater. Executing the skills so well, and look at the | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
difference in the stroke, she is so smooth in the water, Georgia Davies, | :13:48. | :13:48. | |
whereas Hosszu, that power, bouncing up and down. Hosszu is like | :13:49. | :14:03. | |
clockwork and starting to make maybe half a metre inside this last 15, | :14:04. | :14:05. | |
Hosszu takes it, Davis second, and look at the top, in lane eight, the | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
Czech swimmer coming third. That is good from Georgia Davies, the first | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
semifinal. She needs a good place in third, I can't see her beaten out of | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
the final places, can there really be six people from the second semi | :14:17. | :14:25. | |
beating her? Very unlikely, you don't | :14:26. | :14:27. | |
beating her? Very unlikely, you beautiful underwater work, Hosszu to | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
beating her? Very unlikely, you strong in the closing stages. The | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
first semifinal won by the defending champion Hosszu of Hungary. | :14:34. | :14:45. | |
The second semi is a quick one. The champion six wrap broad holder | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
Nielsen of Denmark goes in fourth. Zevina pushed Hosszu all the way. | :14:53. | :15:19. | |
Abramovich is in Ealing. Nielsen with a famous father. We both know | :15:20. | :15:27. | |
her dad, he used swim for Denmark himself. Looking at Kathleen Dawson | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
there, good to see the teenager doing well in the semifinal. | :15:33. | :15:47. | |
A super chap, her father, feisty, I think is the word. I used to race | :15:48. | :15:59. | |
against him. And Jallow, won at age 18. And she did not qualify for Rio | :16:00. | :16:08. | |
but is playing as part of the junior squad. Good to get | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
but is playing as part of the junior experience. To be in a semifinal, | :16:15. | :16:16. | |
swimming next to experience. To be in a semifinal, | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
Nielsen, a superb experience for the future. | :16:21. | :16:33. | |
stop their feet slipping. You can see how high up they | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
stop their feet slipping. You can wall, much less chance of slipping | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
no. Good start and very close indeed there. She is only allowed 15 | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
no. Good start and very close indeed 98. A good start for Kathleen Dawson | :16:49. | :16:56. | |
but Nielsen, she is off, tied for the gold medal with Hosszu and she | :16:57. | :17:07. | |
will want it for yourself this time. A beautiful technician. When you see | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
the backstroke done well it is lovely to watch. Head and shoulders | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
the backstroke done well it is perfectly still. The European record | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
is the world record and it is 58.12, I would be astonished if she got | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
near that. But the great swim from Nielsen and also from Dawson one | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
lane it. Great news for Great Britain. Look at how time, Dawson. | :17:35. | :17:41. | |
-- her time. That is a tremendous swim from the young 18-year-old from | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
Warrington, coached by Darren Ashley, and he has done a super job | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
with her. She will be in the final. Amazing there. You can see the | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
underwater work the backstroke as do. So hard. -- the backstrokers do. | :17:57. | :18:14. | |
There are is the results, Nielsen Wynette, Dossena brilliant swim for | :18:15. | :18:27. | |
her, 59.83 -- Kathleen Dawson. Look at that, Mie Nielsen fastest, | :18:28. | :18:36. | |
Kathleen Dawson second fastest, and George Davies is in there as well. | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
She is in that final and she is speaking to Sharron Davies. Jar jar, | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
you seem to have come into your own as 100m swimmer over the last year? | :18:48. | :18:57. | |
I have had to -- Georgia, you seem to have. My problem in the past was | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
going out to hard then dying but, yes, I am pleased with that in the | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
middle training, that kind of swim. I am happy. It looked strong. It | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
looked like your legs were not super tired at the end. No, am hoping | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
there is more for tomorrow night. The next medley yesterday, I would | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
like to go that quickly or if not, slightly faster. I am sure you well | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
and that you will qualify. How difficult is that, though? When you | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
finish to keep your eyes on everyone else to see how they are doing but | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
surely no one was good to beat her time there. She was going to make | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
the final. She is in seventh, so it's probably relieved. It is great | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
for Kathleen Dawson and the thing is that she is not in the Olympic team | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
which is really sad. She is here as one of the younger people not going | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
to Rio which is a shame when she is such a great winner. She is with | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
Sharron Davies now. And she is giggling away here because it was an | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
amazing swim. Well done. Second-fastest into the European | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
final. I can't believe it! And have no words. A great experience to be | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
here, perhaps a little sad about Rio but I get your concentrating on | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
tomorrow now? Definitely. I just glad to have broken the minute, to | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
be honest. That was my incoming and so I am really happy. Consistent | :20:21. | :20:27. | |
improvement. -- that was my aim coming in. What have you done to get | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
that? Training hard, every session I am in trying to make is better all | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
the time. You have to be in the race to win it and you're in there, so | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
good luck tomorrow. Regular match. We will have that final featuring | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
George Davies and Kathleen Dawson tomorrow night for you. Now it is | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
the turn of the 1500 metres backstroke. The semifinals. | :20:48. | :20:56. | |
COMMENTATOR: He will be closest to us in lane one, Chris | :20:57. | :21:13. | |
Walker-Hebborn. Closer to us, of course, and it is looking as though | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
Walker-Hebborn may well be at the top of the picture. No, in the | :21:18. | :21:24. | |
bottom, there we go, good. First semifinal of the men's backstroke. | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
Very good indeed is the defending European champion on this. The white | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
hat in the very centre starting to make a move and he looks pretty good | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
in the centre. It looks like he is coming on the court. Lacourt with | :21:44. | :21:56. | |
his hugely long arms get the touch and I think it was Glinta. | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
Walker-Hebborn, I can tell you, finishes in sixth place. It will be | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
tough from there to make the final, but the distance part. -- but a | :22:06. | :22:13. | |
decent start. Yes, just a bit jaded, not exactly where he needs to be in | :22:14. | :22:30. | |
the water. But Lacourt beautiful. Camille Lacourt of France in first, | :22:31. | :22:45. | |
Robert Glinta in second and Walker-Hebborn inferred. Ireland's | :22:46. | :22:53. | |
new sixs -- new sensation in the next one. -- Walker-Hebborn in third | :22:54. | :23:07. | |
place. There is Bohus, and there is Shane Ryan, the new Irish record | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
holder who just qualified to swim for Ireland after having represented | :23:11. | :23:18. | |
the United States four days ago. Left it a bit late, didn't he! Great | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
for Ireland. That he is in their squad. Well, the world record is an | :23:24. | :23:37. | |
amazing 24.04, and it is held by the Tank, of Great Britain. A pretty | :23:38. | :23:50. | |
good time. We have seen Camille win that first semifinal. What can these | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
guys do? The Russian was the fastest | :23:54. | :24:05. | |
qualifier. The second semifinal of the men's 50 | :24:06. | :24:25. | |
metre backstroke. Right on that 50 metre mark is the Polish swimmer. | :24:26. | :24:33. | |
Three from the bottom, Shane Ryan of Ireland. At the moment | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
Three from the bottom, Shane Ryan of Red Hat is sticking out and he is | :24:41. | :24:41. | |
just ahead. It will be Red Hat is sticking out and he is | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
finish. I think he has got it, yes, he has. Polewka wins for Poland. | :24:46. | :24:56. | |
Tarasevich for Russia, second, and third was Bohus of Hungary. Shane | :24:57. | :25:04. | |
Ryan finishing just outside of that Irish record he set. | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
Ryan finishing just outside of that chasing him down after that 50 | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
metres and he just couldn't catch him. Polewka winning the second | :25:11. | :25:19. | |
semifinal and he will be in the final tomorrow night. Shane Ryan in | :25:20. | :25:33. | |
sixth, 25.3, not bad. The qualifiers for the final tomorrow night, the | :25:34. | :25:41. | |
European record-holder goes on fastest, Camille Lacourt. Chris | :25:42. | :25:53. | |
Walker-Hebborn missing out on his place but there is plenty to talk | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
about in the pub. Get your telephone off the table! | :25:59. | :26:00. | |
LAUGHTER James Guy got himself a bronze medal | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
and here he is getting that from earlier because he did that in the | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
200m free cell. Lots to talk about with him. He can breathe a sigh of | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
relief now? Yes, he with him. He can breathe a sigh of | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
man -- freestyle. And let's celebrate Chloe Tutton, very | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
impressive in the British trials. Her time is put | :26:22. | :26:28. | |
best in the world. She has a bronze medal in the 100m | :26:29. | :26:30. | |
best in the world. She has a bronze even her favourite event this week. | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
Exactly. She is getting a bronze there and we see are back on the | :26:35. | :26:37. | |
podium for the 200m later in the week. That is coming up later on the | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
week -- see her back on the podium. Let's reflect where we are in terms | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
of medals. British swimmers have eight, two called, two silver and | :26:48. | :26:56. | |
four bronze. Pretty good because it is only day three. Tomorrow night we | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
have Jazz curling and we will see Siobhan back on that final so | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
hopefully, and Hannah Miley, so hopefully see them back in the | :27:05. | :27:11. | |
podium -- Carling. Ross Murdoch in the 200m tomorrow night and I would | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
love to see Kathleen Dawson, but also loads to come later in the | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
week. Let's remind everybody of the full schedule tomorrow night. These | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
guys have alluded to some of the big names. Jazz Carlin is an from six | :27:27. | :27:36. | |
o'clock. Hannah Miley, Siobhan-Marie O'Connor and Ross Murdoch there as | :27:37. | :27:43. | |
well. If you want to join us you can do. From 6:30pm we will be on BBC | :27:44. | :27:48. | |
Two and from 6pm we will be on the red button. If you want to see the | :27:49. | :27:51. | |
full medal ceremonies from the rest of the night's competition you can | :27:52. | :27:55. | |
do so on the red button. I feel bad I have told you both off nobody will | :27:56. | :28:03. | |
come back tomorrow, yes? I will. I don't know... | :28:04. | :28:05. | |
LAUGHTER Very successful all round. I know we | :28:06. | :28:09. | |
keep alluding to it but for James Guy, great to put that behind him. | :28:10. | :28:13. | |
He can sign off tonight with a smile on his face. An interim number? | :28:14. | :28:18. | |
Definitely. He still has the other races coming up and he will probably | :28:19. | :28:22. | |
be in the medley relay is welding the butterfly. We will see him back | :28:23. | :28:25. | |
in action this week and hopefully he will do well again. He is one of our | :28:26. | :28:29. | |
big hopes going into Rio and this is always a stepping stone going at | :28:30. | :28:35. | |
Rio. I know it is a major meet but great to see the smile on his face. | :28:36. | :28:39. | |
Thank you for joining us tonight, guys. We will see you tomorrow at | :28:40. | :28:40. | |
her past six. Our service providers | :28:41. | :29:06. | |
work truly all hours | :29:07. | :29:10. |
