Welcome to Budapest to day five of the world swimming Championships,

:00:35.:00:41.

Team GB already have three gold medals in the bag and this evening

:00:42.:00:44.

there are more opportunities to get on the podium. Only maximum effort

:00:45.:00:52.

will do, Max Litchfield goes in the 200 metre individual medley. Duncan

:00:53.:00:55.

Scott in the 100 meter freestyle final. Georgia Davies is in the hunt

:00:56.:01:00.

for a medal in the 50 meter backstroke. And Ross Murdoch is

:01:01.:01:05.

flying the flag for British breaststroke, can he be the boss?

:01:06.:01:13.

First up we are going to see Max Litchfield in the 200 metre

:01:14.:01:19.

individual medley, it is fair to say he was looking on form as he made

:01:20.:01:24.

his way through the feats, smashing the British record and Commonwealth

:01:25.:01:27.

record and this is him in the semifinal last night.

:01:28.:01:31.

COMMENTATOR: Max Litchfield might be second or third, he is third come on

:01:32.:01:46.

max Lichfield has to finish in the top three or four. Come on Max

:01:47.:02:01.

Litchfield. He is going well, Hagino is leading. Max Litchfield second,

:02:02.:02:11.

an excellent time just outside the Commonwealth record. Brilliant.

:02:12.:02:16.

Another fantastic effort today you must be pleased? Yes, coming there

:02:17.:02:29.

and doing the same time was fantastic. How pleased are you for

:02:30.:02:33.

Max Litchfield because he almost seemed surprised with his times? So

:02:34.:02:39.

nice to see people, he was one of those really hard for places at the

:02:40.:02:44.

Olympic Games and he has rarely stepped up to the plate. Knocking a

:02:45.:02:48.

second and a half of his personal best coming up to this event. It's

:02:49.:02:55.

difficult going PB, PB, PB through the streets, semifinals and final, I

:02:56.:02:58.

would love to see him break the British record tonight. The 400

:02:59.:03:03.

metres individual medley will be his best event later but this is looking

:03:04.:03:09.

good, stroke is looking great, he will come back towards the end,

:03:10.:03:14.

first or second is gone but he could get third. He is in a scrap for a

:03:15.:03:18.

medal, good luck to him, let's see how he gets on in the 200 metre

:03:19.:03:20.

individual medley. The new Commonwealth record holder

:03:21.:03:31.

Max Litchfield but he is surrounded by the big boys. The Japanese are

:03:32.:03:34.

very quick as well. A real changing of the guard here

:03:35.:03:49.

because America represented by this man, the first time we have not been

:03:50.:03:55.

calling the two big boys. That's right, Michael Phelps winning three

:03:56.:03:59.

times and after him we saw Ryan Lochte winning four times in a row,

:04:00.:04:05.

not since 2001 has anyone since those big superstars won the event.

:04:06.:04:15.

Do not count out the German, they have hardly turned up here, it's

:04:16.:04:24.

been quite extraordinary. Heintz is number one in the world, Germany

:04:25.:04:28.

have had a terrible meet, they really need him to try and pick up

:04:29.:04:34.

the middle. Max Litchfield has had to Maxi Pereira swims so far -- has

:04:35.:04:44.

had two smashing swims so far. World Championship final, men's 200

:04:45.:04:59.

metre medley, Max Litchfield in free. -- three. The pink suit of Max

:05:00.:05:14.

Litchfield of Great Britain, Hagino and five, Kalisz goes well, normally

:05:15.:05:29.

Hagino goes well. Setting the early pace, Hagino, going really well. Out

:05:30.:05:35.

under world-record pace and that was said by Ryan Lochte. Hagino was the

:05:36.:05:47.

first to turn second was Wang. The pink suit in three of Max Litchfield

:05:48.:05:52.

starts coming through, looking pretty good, this is the halfway

:05:53.:05:57.

turn. Max Litchfield is going to turn second, would be great if he

:05:58.:06:02.

could keep this going. It is great to see, he's had a strong turn. This

:06:03.:06:07.

is where he's got to work to the stroke, some of these guys including

:06:08.:06:13.

Kalisz and Hagino are really strong freestylers as is Max Litchfield but

:06:14.:06:16.

I do not want to see him losing too much ground. The breaststroke of Max

:06:17.:06:22.

Litchfield perhaps not as strong as the rest of the field. Kalisz has

:06:23.:06:32.

overtaken Hagino, this is going to be a fantastic scrap. Kalisz first,

:06:33.:06:41.

Hagino second, Seto third. Needs to focus on Seto, Kalisz good win his

:06:42.:06:47.

first individual honour but Hagino closing in. Looks like Kalisz hazard

:06:48.:06:56.

at the moment, Hagino, Max Litchfield is charging, it's going

:06:57.:07:00.

to be very tight for bronze, gold goes to the USA, Kalisz, silver goes

:07:01.:07:08.

to Hagino of Japan and the bronze I can tell you has gone to the Olympic

:07:09.:07:16.

bronze medallist of China Wang. Great Britain is Max Litchfield in

:07:17.:07:19.

fourth, just outside the medals. Good swim however. What a lot of

:07:20.:07:27.

pressure on his shoulders, Kalisz, seven times previously the Americans

:07:28.:07:32.

have run this event, Michael Phelps calls him his little brother, they

:07:33.:07:38.

have trained together in Baltimore. He had to be focused. Really well

:07:39.:07:51.

off the blocks. They are so good, they always have been, the

:07:52.:07:56.

Americans, around the walls. If you can get ahead on the scales all the

:07:57.:07:59.

way through the event of the swimming takes care of itself.

:08:00.:08:05.

Look at that. Gold! Very good indeed. Confirmation of the results.

:08:06.:08:30.

So close for Max Litchfield, really thought he was going to sneak a

:08:31.:08:36.

medal, how frustrating is that? We were screaming our heads off, it was

:08:37.:08:41.

so close but even if he swam the British record he would still have

:08:42.:08:45.

finished fourth so I think he will be fine with that, his main event is

:08:46.:08:50.

still to come, he is better at the 400 medley and hopefully he will put

:08:51.:08:55.

in a great performance. It is three good solid swims. Coming here he

:08:56.:08:58.

would have just been trying to make the final, he had a good shot, it

:08:59.:09:06.

was Wang spoiling the party, tiny bit unfortunate but three great

:09:07.:09:11.

swims, very happy. The last 205I was a bit confused because you were both

:09:12.:09:18.

screaming -- the last 25 I was a bit confused. He has a really good

:09:19.:09:25.

freestyle leg, butterfly and breaststroke are probably his

:09:26.:09:32.

weakest. I think they are things he will take away and work with now,

:09:33.:09:35.

they keep talking about the fact they are on this plan to Tokyo and

:09:36.:09:40.

what a great start, fourth last year at the Olympics, I think he is

:09:41.:09:45.

definitely one to watch for Tokyo. A lot of improvements he can make, we

:09:46.:09:50.

watch swimming all day and you could see a relaxed swimmer and a relaxed

:09:51.:09:55.

technique, his technique is a bit stiff, I think he can work on his

:09:56.:10:00.

flexibility. The timing on seemed completely out which is good as that

:10:01.:10:05.

is something he can work on. He's playing catch up. Let's hear from

:10:06.:10:16.

him. He's which Arron Davies. -- he's which Arron Davies.

:10:17.:10:20.

Horrible position that one. That's where we came last year and it's

:10:21.:10:27.

there again, coming into this event, coming forth I would not have

:10:28.:10:32.

thought that coming in here. Three times, cannot really complain. Just

:10:33.:10:37.

look like you ran out of water which is promising for the 400. Yes, we

:10:38.:10:45.

always battled to be strong. Happy with that time. Slower than I have

:10:46.:10:51.

been the last couple days but cannot be disappointed with that. Which of

:10:52.:10:55.

the 3-D fancy catching up with later? All of them! Brilliant

:10:56.:11:00.

answer. Thank you. Commiserations to Max Litchfield,

:11:01.:11:11.

next up the women's 100 metre freestyle semifinal featuring Freya

:11:12.:11:18.

Anderson, she is only 16 so this is all about experience, one lady with

:11:19.:11:21.

a lot of experience is Bronte Campbell. What sort of form they

:11:22.:11:27.

think you are in bearing in mind the injuries and downtime after Rio?

:11:28.:11:34.

It's hard to pick, I don't really know, I normally have a pretty good

:11:35.:11:39.

idea of what I am capable of but I couldn't give a prediction, which is

:11:40.:11:46.

exciting when it is a blank slate you just go and see which you can

:11:47.:11:50.

do. There probably should be pressure but I don't feel any

:11:51.:11:54.

pressure, it's more just trying to see exactly what I can give. Time

:11:55.:12:01.

for the women's 100 metre freestyle semifinals.

:12:02.:12:07.

COMMENTATOR: What a semifinal this is, Olympic gold medals in three,

:12:08.:12:22.

four, five and six. Won the 50 and the 100 in London. Next to her, the

:12:23.:12:30.

Olympic champion from Rio, watch them go very fast indeed, I say out

:12:31.:12:35.

next, it's actually the Olympic champion on the 100 metre freestyle

:12:36.:12:42.

from Rio, 16 then, 17 now, Bronte Campbell in six. In lane one Freya

:12:43.:12:47.

Anderson of Great Britain. Here is the Olympic champion from the 50

:12:48.:12:51.

freestyle in Rio, this is going to be so quick. Blume sent a Danish

:12:52.:13:01.

record this morning, she was really fast and as you would expect from

:13:02.:13:06.

the Olympic 50 metres freestyle champion. The Canadian Oleksiak just

:13:07.:13:13.

has not been at the races this year, I don't think training has gone

:13:14.:13:17.

well. So many people to talk about, Bronte Campbell is faster this year

:13:18.:13:19.

and she was last year. The fastest woman in water in the

:13:20.:13:41.

world last year, Blume. Right at the top, Anderson, the 16-year-old

:13:42.:13:46.

British swimmer. Fourth fastest British swimmer now in the 100 free.

:13:47.:13:58.

The first semifinal, the big guns in three, four, five and six. Keep a

:13:59.:14:03.

lookout for Freya Anderson 16-year-old at the top for Great

:14:04.:14:07.

Britain. It would be great to see her do it here, Freya I know she is

:14:08.:14:13.

focusing more on the worlds, the world Juniors but how would it be

:14:14.:14:18.

for her to have a good swim here? Look at the pace from Blume, she has

:14:19.:14:25.

that easy speed but she's not having it all her own way here. Looking

:14:26.:14:33.

very good, still going well is the Olympic champion from London 2012 in

:14:34.:14:39.

lane three, maybe just coming through now, Bronte Campbell of

:14:40.:14:43.

Australia. It's going to be very tight, it is very tight. Not quite

:14:44.:14:49.

as fast as I thought it might be I have to say. Bronte Campbell second.

:14:50.:15:00.

Oleksiak third, Kromowidjojo fourth. Great news for Freya Anderson, she

:15:01.:15:06.

finished sixth but hard first time ever under 54 seconds which is

:15:07.:15:11.

outstanding. That bodes well for the world juniors later this month.

:15:12.:15:18.

Absolutely loaded semifinal that was. Some big guns and she was up

:15:19.:15:27.

against. Not sure what Blume did on the turn but she lost a couple of

:15:28.:15:33.

metres, it was a dogfight coming down the back 25. Bronte Campbell

:15:34.:15:40.

did not quite spot a finish. And that's only the first semifinal! We

:15:41.:15:45.

have another to go and it's going to be very competitive tomorrow night.

:15:46.:15:50.

It certainly is because in that one we have the new world-record holder

:15:51.:15:52.

and the new Olympic champion. Very good indeed by Freya Anderson.

:15:53.:16:10.

And there is the second semifinal and the new world record holder,

:16:11.:16:14.

Sarah Sjostrom, those in four. Olympic champion is in lane five,

:16:15.:16:23.

Simone Manuel. Sharron Davies caught up with Sarah Sjostrom earlier this

:16:24.:16:30.

week. Sarah Sjostrom, the defending

:16:31.:16:33.

champion and world record-holder, she is absolutely on fire. This lady

:16:34.:16:38.

has been winning medals at world level since was 15. Gold again and

:16:39.:16:42.

Sarah Sjostrom of Sweden gets the gold. The first few days were really

:16:43.:16:49.

good and I am really happy with the world record and the gold medal.

:16:50.:16:53.

Have you been working much more on your freestyle Daniel butterfly?

:16:54.:16:58.

Yes, I decided to work on my technique to become a better

:16:59.:17:03.

sprinter. It worked out pretty well. You have been around at this level

:17:04.:17:08.

for a long time because you started so young. Eight years ago I first

:17:09.:17:13.

got a gold medal in the World Championships and yesterday was my

:17:14.:17:17.

fourth gold medal in the 100 fly. I am happy about that. What takes you

:17:18.:17:24.

so inspired? I love being an athlete and it is more fun now than when I

:17:25.:17:30.

was 15. I am enjoying being a swimmer more than ever. And I am

:17:31.:17:35.

doing really well, but it is also the life outside competing and all

:17:36.:17:41.

these things that I really enjoy. After athletes do track and field

:17:42.:17:49.

they go up in distance and here you go down. We have to train more, we

:17:50.:17:56.

have to train for two hours, but we still only swim for 25 seconds, so

:17:57.:18:00.

it is a lot of training for the amount of racing we do. More medals

:18:01.:18:06.

this week? We will see. I have been very close to a world record in the

:18:07.:18:13.

50 metres. If I do a fast start and if I am still fresh at the end of

:18:14.:18:17.

the week, I am sure I can be close to the world record. There she is.

:18:18.:18:33.

51 put 71 -- 51.70 one. She is the new world-record holder and she has

:18:34.:18:38.

already won gold in the 100 fly. Who is to say she will not break this

:18:39.:18:46.

world record again? Right next to her is the Olympic champion.

:18:47.:18:53.

The second semifinal of the women's 100 metres freestyle. All eyes will

:18:54.:18:59.

be on Sarah Sjostrom. Steve, what are you expecting? She pulled out of

:19:00.:19:06.

the 200 metres freestyle where she is the Olympic silver medallist to

:19:07.:19:10.

concentrate on these sprint events and it is paying off. She is at the

:19:11.:19:15.

head of the race already. She did not have the best start. I think she

:19:16.:19:21.

might be taking it quite easy. She is half a second down on the speed

:19:22.:19:26.

she did two days ago. It must be nice to go like that, but it looks

:19:27.:19:31.

like she is working pretty hard, the yellow hat in the centre. To the

:19:32.:19:35.

left of her is Simone Manuel, wonderful to see her get gold at the

:19:36.:19:40.

Olympic games. But it looks like Sarah Sjostrom. It is just outside

:19:41.:19:46.

the world record. A much quicker second semifinal. Sarah Sjostrom

:19:47.:19:52.

wins it. The Olympic champion is second. Mallory Comerford is the new

:19:53.:20:02.

American record-holder. She is third. Emma Mckeon had a good race.

:20:03.:20:14.

That seconds semifinal was fast. Until this year America had not had

:20:15.:20:19.

anyone who had broken 53 seconds, but they are clearly doing it now. A

:20:20.:20:25.

great start from Manuel, the Olympic champion. I think Sarah Sjostrom was

:20:26.:20:38.

taking it a little bit easier, Andy. Why waste the energy when you can

:20:39.:20:41.

still swim within yourself and still qualify. I ask myself that every

:20:42.:20:47.

time I see Katinka Hosszu swim, but she just for it. Comfortable, easy,

:20:48.:20:55.

Sarah Sjostrom wins the second semifinal. It looked pedestrian.

:20:56.:21:08.

Let's have a look at the qualifiers. Emma Mckeon is in aid. Look at the

:21:09.:21:19.

cut-off. Freya Anderson is talking to Sharron Davies. A fantastic sub

:21:20.:21:25.

54, you must be pleased with that time. Yes, I am. I had been wanting

:21:26.:21:34.

to dip under for a while and it is good to go under. It must give you

:21:35.:21:38.

confidence going into the world Juniors later in the year. Yes,

:21:39.:21:44.

definitely. It is the first time we have made. Nowadays everybody is

:21:45.:21:51.

very told. I think being taller would help, that a lot of things

:21:52.:21:58.

like my size help, but I have got things to work on. Great to see you

:21:59.:22:03.

here and great that you have got things to work on because it means

:22:04.:22:11.

faster times. Thank you. A fantastic swimmer from Freya Anderson, another

:22:12.:22:14.

PB for her, but no place in the final unfortunately. Let's hear from

:22:15.:22:21.

Duncan 's got ahead of his final. This is a great opportunity and a

:22:22.:22:26.

great chance. Most years after the Olympics are slightly slower some

:22:27.:22:31.

would say and you can back that up as well. But with the times I have

:22:32.:22:36.

been doing this year I do not think Budapest will be that much slower to

:22:37.:22:41.

be honest. It is another great chance to race internationally and I

:22:42.:22:44.

have only raised internationally once at the Olympics. For me it is

:22:45.:22:53.

still relatively new. I have the 200 freestyle as well and the 100 free

:22:54.:22:56.

and I am looking forward to them. There are chances in both events.

:22:57.:23:01.

Yes, I am looking forward to going out and racing. I'm don't want to be

:23:02.:23:07.

the best in the world, I want to win a medal in the championships. To be

:23:08.:23:17.

the best in the world in March, nobody really knows who you are or

:23:18.:23:21.

nobody cares. It is all about winning medals at Championships and

:23:22.:23:25.

doing fast Times at major championships and doing what you

:23:26.:23:33.

want to do at major championships. And Duncan Scott is in lane seven.

:23:34.:23:40.

Probably a good lane for him outside the action expected in the centre.

:23:41.:23:51.

Steve, look at the size of his legs! He has been doing some leg presses.

:23:52.:24:01.

Absolutely massive. But the Frenchman is better known for his

:24:02.:24:04.

butterfly and he has turned his hand to the freestyle. He is not going to

:24:05.:24:19.

have it all his own way. Caleb Dressell is fast at the start. He

:24:20.:24:25.

cleared up this year posting ridiculous times that people do not

:24:26.:24:31.

think possible. There is another guy, Nathan Adrian, Olympic

:24:32.:24:34.

champion, he will fancy this as well. Duncan Scott will be one lane

:24:35.:24:48.

from the bottom of the screen. The start of Caleb Dressell have been

:24:49.:24:49.

just phenomenal. The final of the men's 100 metres

:24:50.:25:07.

freestyle. Look at the start from Caleb Dressell. You said he would be

:25:08.:25:12.

good, Steve, but I did not think it would be that good. That should not

:25:13.:25:17.

be physically possible. These are the fastest sprinters in the world.

:25:18.:25:23.

Down from him McEvoy has done the second fastest time in the world

:25:24.:25:28.

ever. He is the model of efficiency, the Australian looking good. Duncan

:25:29.:25:32.

Scott is doing well. He is a quarter of a second faster than he was to

:25:33.:25:38.

break the British record. In the centre it is Caleb Dressell and

:25:39.:25:43.

Metella is coming back. Now Caleb Dressell goes to the straight arm

:25:44.:25:47.

stroke and he is pulling away. Look at that. That is an outstanding

:25:48.:25:53.

swim. Oh, my goodness me, I did not think he would go that quick. It is

:25:54.:26:03.

a new American record. He has won by about seven tenths of a second. It

:26:04.:26:08.

is gold and silver to the USA. Gold medal to Caleb Dressell and silver

:26:09.:26:14.

to Nathan Adrian. Metella gets the bronze for France. Duncan Scott was

:26:15.:26:22.

fifth. It was so close. I am finding it hard to get my head around how

:26:23.:26:28.

good his skills are. There is no weight Caleb Dressell is the fastest

:26:29.:26:32.

swimmer, but he destroyed them on the start and at the turn as well.

:26:33.:26:40.

He is away so well of those blocks. It is his underwater work that gets

:26:41.:26:46.

him out ahead. There is no doubt he is a fast swimmer, Andy, but he

:26:47.:26:51.

makes about half a yard coming off that turn. His butterfly leg kick is

:26:52.:26:57.

so strong underwater in that streamlined position that it just

:26:58.:27:00.

propels him forward. It meant so much to him as well. World champion.

:27:01.:27:12.

Bash! And Nathan Adrian and it is gold and silver to the USA. Metella

:27:13.:27:19.

gets the bronze. Seven tenths of a second for victory, that is massive.

:27:20.:27:35.

That is amazing. Hard lines for Duncan Scott. Full

:27:36.:27:40.

credit for his attitude. Coming into this he said he was not complacent.

:27:41.:27:47.

Where was that one? The start. Use Caleb Dressell before the race and

:27:48.:27:51.

he did jump up and he is a bit like Zebedee. In all the races he

:27:52.:27:55.

destroys people. The only person I have seen get near him is Ben Brown.

:27:56.:28:02.

Duncan Scott is with Sharron now. You mentioned earlier that this is

:28:03.:28:05.

only your second senior international. You have been in

:28:06.:28:10.

great spirits. I know you are disappointed because it is not as

:28:11.:28:13.

fast as you can go, but very consistent. Yes, definitely. I was

:28:14.:28:22.

not producing the best time I can do in a final, but that is the way it

:28:23.:28:27.

is. I do not know what the splits were. It is another good opportunity

:28:28.:28:33.

and experience and I hope I can go on in the future. We have got the

:28:34.:28:40.

200 and men's relay and we are excited about that. That is

:28:41.:28:44.

tomorrow, a new day and James showed more reform in that 100 fly and that

:28:45.:28:49.

is nice to see. We have got some of the boys who have not swum yet and

:28:50.:28:53.

they will be fresh and they will be good and I am looking forward to it.

:28:54.:29:00.

Understandably disappointed. You look at his times and he posted the

:29:01.:29:08.

fastest 100 in the world. But it is hard to remember he is very new on

:29:09.:29:13.

this big international scene. And he is only 20 years of age. But we said

:29:14.:29:18.

before the race that he is very slight. I feel like I need to give

:29:19.:29:24.

him a burger or something. We have seen it happen with Adam Peaty and

:29:25.:29:28.

then proud where all of a sudden they become these beasts and their

:29:29.:29:33.

physique changes and I feel like that will happen with Duncan. He

:29:34.:29:39.

will always be slight. Sprinting middle-distance is a different build

:29:40.:29:44.

and a different make up. And you look at Caleb Dressell and Metella

:29:45.:29:48.

and they are big men and it was almost like a boy against big men.

:29:49.:29:52.

That is not to say you cannot compete. He has made huge

:29:53.:29:56.

improvements. He has acknowledged the fact that he is slight and

:29:57.:30:02.

McEvoy is slight. Do you need to be bulky? You need more strength. I am

:30:03.:30:06.

not saying you need to be bulky. With bulk it creates more resistance

:30:07.:30:13.

and it is a lot more streamlined. That comes with age as well. He is

:30:14.:30:19.

only 20 and his power and weight ratio is amazing already otherwise

:30:20.:30:23.

he would not be in that field. He will naturally get stronger as he

:30:24.:30:28.

gets older anyway. You cannot question the strength of Adam Peaty.

:30:29.:30:33.

He has done the double double and Mark Foster and Stephen Parry have

:30:34.:30:35.

been looking back at his achievements.

:30:36.:30:43.

World champion, two very special words. Two words every champion

:30:44.:30:53.

wants to hear after learning. A lifetime of training. Very few make

:30:54.:30:59.

it. But every now and then someone very special comes along. Someone

:31:00.:31:03.

who pushes harder and breaks new ground. At 20 Adam Peaty became a

:31:04.:31:11.

world champion. Adam Peaty has got it on the very last stroke. For most

:31:12.:31:17.

that is the dream. Adam Peaty is not like the most. He took it in his

:31:18.:31:25.

stride as if he knew he was always destined for the mantle. And one was

:31:26.:31:31.

not enough. Adam Peaty has his second gold medal. Double world

:31:32.:31:40.

champion at 20 years old. Hungry for more he occupied himself with the

:31:41.:31:44.

pursuit of more medals. Olympic gold for Great Britain. Fast forward to

:31:45.:31:54.

Budapest, a city rich in history. Adam Peaty has destroyed the rest of

:31:55.:32:01.

the world. World title number three, the best in the world by some

:32:02.:32:06.

distance. Distance and time. Not just the best in the world now but

:32:07.:32:14.

the best in the world ever. There goes project 25! That is phenomenal!

:32:15.:32:21.

After dominance. Like a lion hunting its prey. Adam Peaty is relentless.

:32:22.:32:31.

Onto the next one. And history beckons. This is quite amazing,

:32:32.:32:36.

brilliant breaststroke swimming. He's done the double double. World

:32:37.:32:45.

champion, two very special words. The double bubble and outstanding

:32:46.:32:46.

achievement. Clearly impressed but here is the

:32:47.:32:57.

head of the fan club. To be here at this time means the world to me.

:32:58.:33:04.

It's very touching. I could not go and see him in Rio but this has made

:33:05.:33:11.

up for everything. I am so, so pleased I have come. 20 years since

:33:12.:33:17.

I have flown but it was worth it. That is of course Adam Peaty is Nan

:33:18.:33:29.

and she went to everybody's hearts last year after becoming a Twitter

:33:30.:33:35.

celebrity. The American national anthem playing out to celebrate the

:33:36.:33:41.

winner of the men's 200 metre individual medal. No medal for

:33:42.:33:45.

Britain's Max Litchfield then but he will be in the pull later on. Now an

:33:46.:33:51.

opportunity for one of our girls to get on the podium, we'll be talking

:33:52.:34:01.

about Georgia Davies in second but a word on Nana, you love her don't

:34:02.:34:06.

you? Absolutely, and this is what makes athletes normal, Adam Peaty is

:34:07.:34:10.

just a boy from Uttoxeter that loves to swim. He used to be frightened of

:34:11.:34:15.

the water but with his family and coach he has become a legend of the

:34:16.:34:22.

sport. I love his Nan because last year at Rio she was filming with his

:34:23.:34:27.

iPad and I said to not worry, we will send you the footage. They are

:34:28.:34:34.

so proud of him, he is such a family boy and so humble. We saw Nana on

:34:35.:34:40.

the plane, she was so excited. I think that is why we are so proud of

:34:41.:34:47.

our British boys in the British team, you could see the same about

:34:48.:34:53.

Ben Proud, you can see what a nice young man. You see the human side of

:34:54.:34:57.

it, we've mentioned it a lot, but the family play a huge part. It's

:34:58.:35:02.

nice for them to come and watch because they are part of the journey

:35:03.:35:06.

and it is these special memories, you go and do stuff and you are in

:35:07.:35:11.

another place. Right here right now we are team Georgia Davies, ready to

:35:12.:35:15.

go in the women's 50 metres backstroke final. Let's hear from

:35:16.:35:25.

her. Rio had ups and downs for me, as a team literally the most

:35:26.:35:29.

fantastic team to be part of, to come away with the PB at an Olympic

:35:30.:35:34.

Games which I am told only a small percentage of people do, I was

:35:35.:35:39.

really pleased. It showed me my training has been paying off. I have

:35:40.:35:45.

kind of clicked how I want to swim my race and pacing and things like

:35:46.:35:49.

that have come together which is exciting. Doing lifetime best times

:35:50.:35:55.

and I am really loving what I do, travel the world with cool people.

:35:56.:36:03.

It certainly seems like she is enjoying herself in Budapest, this

:36:04.:36:04.

is her semifinal from last night. COMMENTATOR: Georgia Davies of Great

:36:05.:36:21.

Britain. One length backstroke. Only six tenths of seconds split in this

:36:22.:36:25.

entire field after the heat this morning, Georgia Davies started

:36:26.:36:30.

quite slowly, relatively, really came through in the second half,

:36:31.:36:35.

looks good, needs to have a good last ten here, Georgia Davies and

:36:36.:36:39.

the Black Hat, going well, needs a good touch and she has got one. She

:36:40.:36:46.

has won. That is very, very good indeed, just outside the

:36:47.:36:49.

Commonwealth record. Another British record for her. It was nice to be

:36:50.:36:55.

able to come back a few days after a little bit of disappointment and

:36:56.:37:00.

turn things around. It's a personal best time which I have not done

:37:01.:37:05.

since Glasgow. I have kind of wanted a best time for a while now and I am

:37:06.:37:09.

pleased to get it here. You mentioned after the 100 you still

:37:10.:37:16.

love the 50, it's a lot of fast arms going and you took the scalp of a

:37:17.:37:20.

number of girls known for their fast 50s. Yeah, the depth here is

:37:21.:37:26.

incredible, I knew especially being in the first semifinal you cannot

:37:27.:37:30.

leave anything behind because especially after the 100 when the

:37:31.:37:35.

second semifinal was so fast and I missed out, I just wanted to go as

:37:36.:37:39.

fast as I could tonight and hopefully get myself a place in the

:37:40.:37:47.

final. We'll be keeping our fingers good luck.

:37:48.:37:51.

In her individual event she is faster than ever but particularly

:37:52.:37:57.

over this distance does it present an opportunity to get among the

:37:58.:38:07.

medals? I think absolutely, I think she has a good shout of getting

:38:08.:38:12.

third,, when it comes to them, if she can get her stuff right she has

:38:13.:38:19.

a chance of getting third. You always see the 50 is a lottery. It

:38:20.:38:25.

is a splash and dash, either tactics involved? Just go as fast as you

:38:26.:38:32.

can. Anything can happen so best of luck. Best of luck indeed, Georgia

:38:33.:38:36.

Davies in the women's 50 metres backstroke.

:38:37.:38:43.

She goes in lane six, the fastest two in four and five, hard to see

:38:44.:38:54.

past Medeiros and Fu and I think the bronze will be between baker and

:38:55.:39:03.

Davies. I agree, I think gold and silver have gone but Georgia Davies

:39:04.:39:07.

could back up the Commonwealth Games gold medal of three years ago with a

:39:08.:39:14.

major honours year. A couple one hundredths of a second separating

:39:15.:39:24.

the times. One other item, cut the 27 barrier here, could the world be

:39:25.:39:26.

under threat? Georgia Davies three from the bottom

:39:27.:39:41.

in the black hat of Great Britain. In the heats and semifinals she

:39:42.:39:46.

started well, build it through, in the centre it is the powerhouses in

:39:47.:39:51.

four and five, Medeiros and Fu, Medeiros with a very good start for

:39:52.:39:56.

Brazil, it's extraordinarily good from Medeiros, she is going well but

:39:57.:40:01.

really close in five, Fu coming through, Georgia Davies needs to do

:40:02.:40:06.

a bit of work to get a medal, it is tight, looks like it might be

:40:07.:40:12.

Medeiros, one 100th of a second, Brazil gets gold, the first of the

:40:13.:40:17.

championships by one 100th of a second, Fu of China the second and

:40:18.:40:25.

in lane one Herasimenia get bronze, did not see that coming at all.

:40:26.:40:30.

Georgia Davies a little of her best, finishes eighth. I think Georgia

:40:31.:40:37.

Davies will be gutted with that, going in as she was, fourth, coming

:40:38.:40:41.

out eighth, a couple of tenths of a second down on where she was last

:40:42.:40:46.

night. Medeiros breaking the dominance China have hard over this

:40:47.:40:51.

event, they have won three of the last four, what a meet the

:40:52.:40:54.

Brazilians are having over 50 metres. Look at that finish, for all

:40:55.:41:00.

your life looks like Fu but Medeiros must've just put enough pressure on

:41:01.:41:05.

the pad earlier. She has got some guns, I would not mind those! It did

:41:06.:41:15.

look like the Chinese woman's arm went first but the stretch of the

:41:16.:41:17.

Brazilian, Medeiros gets gold. Commiserations to Georgia Davies,

:41:18.:41:30.

understandably she will be disappointed, coming into this in

:41:31.:41:33.

the individual events she has been going really well, could the relay

:41:34.:41:38.

last night have had an effect? She put the blame on herself last night

:41:39.:41:42.

for the next medley that if she had gone have a second quicker but if

:41:43.:41:45.

they had all gone quicker they could have done it. You done live it

:41:46.:41:51.

affected her confidence. It's not 1 million miles of what she did last

:41:52.:41:55.

night but over 50 metres it's huge. Let's hear from her now.

:41:56.:42:00.

It's about making every single element work in the 50 and to me it

:42:01.:42:05.

looked like the start wasn't quite right. Definitely that is true,

:42:06.:42:11.

everything has to be spot on because there is no room for error, the race

:42:12.:42:16.

is over in a blink. I will have to watch it back because I cannot see,

:42:17.:42:22.

when I'm doing the race all I know is it felt good but obviously the

:42:23.:42:28.

time did not reflect that. Eighth in the world, not the worst result ever

:42:29.:42:37.

but I know I am capable of more. The Commonwealth 's next year, great

:42:38.:42:41.

track record and this was almost an Olympic event, how disappointed I

:42:42.:42:45.

view it did not make the programme? Very disappointed, I love the 50 and

:42:46.:42:50.

I definitely think for spectators as well they are interesting to watch

:42:51.:42:54.

because it's always so close, you never know who's going to win. If

:42:55.:42:59.

you get one little thing wrong it can be anybody's race. So I think

:43:00.:43:04.

it's a shame they have not been put in but maybe next time.

:43:05.:43:09.

The really is no margin for error in the 50, commiserations Georgia

:43:10.:43:16.

Davies, let's turn our attention to the men's 200 metres breast stroke,

:43:17.:43:23.

can Ross be the boss? What is it about breaststroke at the moment? I

:43:24.:43:28.

have no idea, I picked a good time to start coming in at it. There is

:43:29.:43:33.

so much depth now, it's getting so tough. We are seeing people make

:43:34.:43:37.

teams and then miss out on the last couple of years. Just because there

:43:38.:43:42.

are so many people, if you're having a bad day somebody immediately fills

:43:43.:43:46.

the gap. There is no room for error in breaststroke in Britain any more.

:43:47.:43:52.

You have to be on your best. How important is this year to you? There

:43:53.:43:58.

to say last year was a bit of a roller-coaster. Last year was a

:43:59.:44:01.

weird one, did not have a great trials and then an amazing European

:44:02.:44:05.

Championships and then not a great Olympic games so it was a

:44:06.:44:10.

roller-coaster. It left me in quite a bad place after Rio and it took a

:44:11.:44:13.

long time to recover mentally from that. I am happy I made the World

:44:14.:44:18.

Championships, it was important to make the first senior team so I it's

:44:19.:44:22.

good I started the cycle the way I wanted.

:44:23.:44:26.

COMMENTATOR: On his day Ross Murdoch is absolutely brilliant, the fastest

:44:27.:44:34.

qualifier in this one, look out for the Olympic champion in two, and

:44:35.:44:40.

lane seven. The Russian in lane one Koseki is

:44:41.:45:12.

ranked number two in the world. On the Balandin, Kazakhstan have never

:45:13.:45:21.

won a medal at the Olympics. Pulls out a win at the Olympics, amazing.

:45:22.:45:26.

This is a really great event this year in the men's two and metres

:45:27.:45:32.

breaststroke, they are all bunching around the 2.0 eight, mark putting

:45:33.:45:36.

pressure on the world-record that has already gone this year. Only 18

:45:37.:45:45.

years of age, and he's a big unit as well, Qin, very tall which is

:45:46.:45:49.

unusual for a breast stroke swimmer. I like the look of Ross Murdoch and

:45:50.:45:55.

I like his comb over, got himself ready to look good! He disappeared

:45:56.:45:59.

for a couple of years after he shook Michael Jamieson in Glasgow in 2014,

:46:00.:46:06.

but then could not make the team in 2015 or 2016 in the event and for me

:46:07.:46:11.

it was a big shock. There are years. He looked great this morning.

:46:12.:46:18.

It is a very different stroke, the 100 of Adam Peaty and this stroke.

:46:19.:46:29.

An ex-Olympic champion said Adam Peaty had invented a new stroke. It

:46:30.:46:34.

does not look like breaststroke, it looks like submerged butterfly

:46:35.:46:38.

recovery. You will see them really stretching out on this 200 metres

:46:39.:46:42.

breaststroke. I thought they would be away by now, but Ross Murdoch is

:46:43.:46:48.

taking his time. He must be applying some fake tan! Ross Murdoch from

:46:49.:46:56.

Scotland. The first semifinal of this men's 200 metres breaststroke.

:46:57.:47:04.

The Commonwealth champion is the fastest seed for this semifinal. The

:47:05.:47:09.

Olympic champion will be one length at the top of your picture up in

:47:10.:47:20.

lane two. That is Koseki. It was Qin of China. Lots of controversy about

:47:21.:47:27.

these underwater strokes on the breaststroke. They are allowed one

:47:28.:47:31.

butterfly kick underwater. There was a little bit of an undulation

:47:32.:47:35.

motion, but this seems to be all sorts of problems with it at the

:47:36.:47:40.

moment. I think they are all doing too many butterfly kicks underwater.

:47:41.:47:46.

You can see it in the sprint events. Koseki looks great. He is under

:47:47.:47:53.

world record pace by four tenths of a second. Ross Murdoch is nicely

:47:54.:47:58.

position. This morning he really worked his way into it. If the

:47:59.:48:02.

Japanese get it right, they could very well go one, two. They could in

:48:03.:48:08.

the final because in the second heat is the world record holder. But this

:48:09.:48:17.

is the first semifinal. Koseki of Japan looking very good. One lane up

:48:18.:48:22.

from him is Matthew Wilson of Australia, the 18-year-old. Ross

:48:23.:48:26.

Murdoch is a third of a second behind at the halfway turn. That is

:48:27.:48:31.

quite a lot faster than the heat this morning. He really did build it

:48:32.:48:37.

from here. Andy, he is looking good from here. Look at the power he has

:48:38.:48:43.

got in his legs. That transported him forward. He will want to start

:48:44.:48:48.

to get home over the second 50. I have never seen him looking this

:48:49.:48:53.

good sense of the Commonwealth Games in 2014. Come on, Ross, let's nail

:48:54.:48:59.

this turn. He is only two tenths of a second off world record pace. He

:49:00.:49:07.

is 1.2 seconds and his record pace. He has only got one job to do here,

:49:08.:49:13.

to make it through to the final. The rest of the field might be starting

:49:14.:49:19.

to catch him up a bit. Koseki looks like he is going well. Ross Murdoch

:49:20.:49:22.

is holding onto this stroke very well. It is his own Commonwealth

:49:23.:49:29.

record. He eased up a little bit down the last 50. Just four tenths

:49:30.:49:36.

of a second outside of his Commonwealth record, but job done.

:49:37.:49:41.

You would take that all day, every day. He has laid down a statement of

:49:42.:49:47.

intent and he knows how to raise. Stick him in the mix tomorrow night

:49:48.:49:51.

in one of those centre lanes and he will know what to do. That is a

:49:52.:49:56.

funny celebration. I have never seen that before! Ross Murdoch really

:49:57.:50:03.

made the move over the third 50. He looked very strong. The guy he was

:50:04.:50:11.

up against in lane seven, Koseki, he was not messing about. He has done

:50:12.:50:14.

the second fastest time in the world this year. But Ross looks good. Ross

:50:15.:50:25.

looks very good indeed. The champion Balandin only came in in sixth. That

:50:26.:50:29.

it is all about time, so in theory he could make the final. But it is

:50:30.:50:36.

not going to happen. Ross Murdoch was brilliant. They are the

:50:37.:50:43.

semifinalists for the second semifinal. It includes Koch, the

:50:44.:51:02.

defending world champion. We have some big guns in the outside lanes

:51:03.:51:07.

in this breast wrote. Ross Murdoch is talking to Sharron Davies.

:51:08.:51:14.

That looked fantastic. You must be very happy with that. Yes,

:51:15.:51:19.

fantastic. I love racing in this event, it is so much fun, so many

:51:20.:51:24.

different ways to do it. It is always nice to get a touch and heat.

:51:25.:51:36.

It is fun. It was 60.15. Was it? We were excited at one stage because

:51:37.:51:41.

you were close to the world record pace. Really? I was discounting my

:51:42.:51:47.

case. I saw somebody on the side out in front and I let them do their

:51:48.:51:52.

thing and I stuck to my guns and it paid off. Good luck for tomorrow.

:51:53.:52:06.

Thank you very much. And here is the big man, Kevin Cordes. Watanabe is

:52:07.:52:14.

the world-record holder. He was only sixth in the Olympic Games, but came

:52:15.:52:19.

back in January this year and broke the world record. If he does that

:52:20.:52:25.

again, he will win. This is the Olympic bronze medallist from

:52:26.:52:32.

Russia. In this 200 breaststroke they have got big guys all over the

:52:33.:52:38.

place. The defending world champion is in lane one. I did give a little

:52:39.:52:49.

fist pump when I found the Olympic champion was out. It just gives our

:52:50.:52:55.

guy by chance. But Watanabe is an interesting character. He seems to

:52:56.:53:00.

do it when the pressure is not on. I cannot imagine he slept very well in

:53:01.:53:04.

the Olympics because he did a time in the semifinals that would have

:53:05.:53:10.

won the games. You can do that. Take your jewellery off, it is just going

:53:11.:53:18.

to slow you down! You shave your body and you leave your necklace on.

:53:19.:53:22.

It must be worth a tenth of a second.

:53:23.:53:29.

Second semifinal of the men's 200 metres breaststroke. In the centre

:53:30.:53:37.

is the Olympic bronze medallist from Russia. Watanabe is right in the

:53:38.:53:45.

centre. They are beautiful long breaststroke strokes, such a

:53:46.:53:48.

different technique to the one Adam Peaty has perfected. I cannot get

:53:49.:53:54.

him out of my head, I cannot imagine what he would go if he turned his

:53:55.:53:59.

hand to the 200 metres. I know it has been muted. Cordes has got his

:54:00.:54:06.

act together this year. Just under world record pace. He has not been

:54:07.:54:10.

the most consistent, but he dominated at the American trials. He

:54:11.:54:17.

won the 50, the 100 and the 200. He is in great form. Look at that

:54:18.:54:20.

stroke, look at the pause. Chupkov will have to press on now.

:54:21.:54:44.

This is where they wind it up. This is where we saw Ross Murdoch go. But

:54:45.:54:52.

the Japanese does not seem to be in the same form that he was in

:54:53.:54:56.

January, in lane five. Cordes will be brimming with confidence. It is a

:54:57.:55:05.

strange event. The big guys, some of them do really well and some of them

:55:06.:55:10.

have an absolute stinker. The world champion is at the top with a white

:55:11.:55:15.

hat and he is from Germany. The demise of the Germans in the

:55:16.:55:19.

swimming pool has been phenomenal. Now coming through is Watanabe.

:55:20.:55:23.

Maybe this is the first time we have seen this stroke. First class, he is

:55:24.:55:30.

picking up the stroke, but Chupkov once some of the action. He has come

:55:31.:55:37.

down very quickly in the last 25. That is only half a second outside

:55:38.:55:42.

the world record. Chupkov left it really late. He is already getting

:55:43.:55:50.

out. I wonder whether he is going to have a crack at the world-record

:55:51.:55:56.

tomorrow night in the final. Well, the necklace did not seem to work

:55:57.:56:01.

against him! It was brilliant. European record and a competition

:56:02.:56:04.

record and to me he did not even seem to turn it on until he had 50

:56:05.:56:11.

to go. He was not hang about. He just wanted to get out of the water.

:56:12.:56:17.

He did not even put his hands together for the entry. You want to

:56:18.:56:22.

be streamlined in that position. He is just such a beautiful stroke. I

:56:23.:56:33.

love them extending it out and maximising the stroke. Again not to

:56:34.:56:37.

streamlined off the wall. That will be a right old ding-dong tomorrow

:56:38.:56:41.

night. Ross Murdoch seems well-positioned, though. He went

:56:42.:56:54.

20.70 seven. But nothing to worry about. So a new championship record

:56:55.:56:59.

for Anton Chupkov of Russia. World-record holder was second.

:57:00.:57:10.

Ross Murdoch of Great Britain will be going in as third fastest and he

:57:11.:57:16.

will be right next to Chupkov. That will be interesting.

:57:17.:57:24.

So, Ross Murdoch in that 200 metres breaststroke final tomorrow night.

:57:25.:57:29.

How excited are you about that? Ross looked absolutely fantastic. It is

:57:30.:57:36.

really nice to see him back in the event that he loves. When he was

:57:37.:57:41.

speaking to Sharron I think he said the word fun about four times. I

:57:42.:57:47.

have never said that. It is amazing to see him back where he belongs and

:57:48.:57:51.

in the environment that he loves and I can't wait to see him tomorrow

:57:52.:57:58.

night. And the thing is it hit the nail on the head, the enjoyment

:57:59.:58:03.

factor. He has had a roller-coaster and it left him right down at the

:58:04.:58:07.

end of the year. 2014 in Glasgow he ruined Michael Jamieson's race

:58:08.:58:16.

because Michael Jamieson went in as the poster boy. Then all of a sudden

:58:17.:58:21.

the focus was on him. But he did not have that great a year. But now he

:58:22.:58:29.

is enjoying swimming again. There are so many different ways to swim

:58:30.:58:34.

the race. You look at the other guys, Cordes is really long and

:58:35.:58:37.

Watanabe and Chupkov are smaller swimmers. There are so many

:58:38.:58:42.

different ways and when it comes to the final there will be a lot of cat

:58:43.:58:46.

and mouse and a lot of playing around. We look forward to that

:58:47.:58:51.

final tomorrow night. Tonight we have still got Molly Renshaw to

:58:52.:58:57.

come, but let's talk about some fine British specimens. We had a bit of a

:58:58.:59:04.

fun race, a media race, coming into tonight's competition. We had Nick

:59:05.:59:12.

Ho, Rebecca Adlington, Steve Parry and Karen Pickering. Let's join the

:59:13.:59:18.

race in the third leg. Becky Adlington, this double Olympic

:59:19.:59:24.

champion. This is good stuff, very impressive stuff. I did not expect

:59:25.:59:29.

this. They were out carbon loading last night and they did a super job

:59:30.:59:34.

with the Pizzini. Is that what we call it? Rebecca Adlington was the

:59:35.:59:39.

first to put her hand up for this race and when it was mentioned she

:59:40.:59:51.

was in. Will Perry be the weak link? Perry might be the weak link. But he

:59:52.:59:58.

is having a go. This could be victory for the BBC. Steve Perry is

:59:59.:00:04.

in three and he is catching the Americans in four. It is gold! He is

:00:05.:00:11.

exhausted. Not a bad effort at all. The Americans went and the Japanese

:00:12.:00:19.

get second. Japan win, NBC second and the BBC are very credible third.

:00:20.:00:24.

I feel like a proud mother of a dysfunctional family. Mark Foster

:00:25.:00:29.

would have been in this, but he did not enter.

:00:30.:00:36.

Gin and tonic worked well. It is the key, in the drinks bottle. We were a

:00:37.:00:44.

bit worried you might have done a false start, it was difficult to get

:00:45.:00:50.

the weight back on to the blocks once you started leaning. What you

:00:51.:00:55.

don't understand is I was probably the only one taking it

:00:56.:00:58.

professionally, these other three did not turn up for the training

:00:59.:01:02.

camp and I am upset, I know we are one team but these three were

:01:03.:01:05.

terrible, they should have taken more seriously. It's all about

:01:06.:01:10.

marginal gains and they are a disgrace. I feel for you but I am

:01:11.:01:14.

proud of your team. I don't know what he's talking

:01:15.:01:22.

about, he could not even find his way to the pool. The American

:01:23.:01:30.

national anthem ringing out again. I love the idea that he had been on a

:01:31.:01:33.

training camp, he clearly did not stick to his diet! Saucer of milk.

:01:34.:01:46.

We have two pick you up on a little something the judges may have

:01:47.:01:50.

noticed, if we can go back and have a little look at the changeover, you

:01:51.:01:56.

may notice you are very keen to get off the blocks, are you concerned it

:01:57.:02:08.

was a DQ? That's good. You have to be competitive. Did you enjoy the

:02:09.:02:20.

experience, you seem to take it quite seriously? I thought mark was

:02:21.:02:30.

quite rude about my relaxed muscle, I was totally focused on the event

:02:31.:02:35.

and what a joy it was. I was just disappointed we could not bring back

:02:36.:02:40.

the win, Andrew has been talking about a bad back all week but I have

:02:41.:02:43.

not seen it, you looked in fine fettle. It suddenly got really bad,

:02:44.:02:49.

maybe a mass hours later. I thought you were great, when you got the

:02:50.:02:53.

weight just over the edge and suddenly, the momentum all the way

:02:54.:03:00.

down. That was just the laws of physics, I could not bring the

:03:01.:03:04.

weight back once it started to go. Those are the ones talking about the

:03:05.:03:10.

weight, not me. Adam Peaty has been talking about equilibrium all week,

:03:11.:03:13.

maybe Steve needs to get the balance a bit better? We have been pulling

:03:14.:03:19.

his leg Alde, congratulations Becky, you took part. I thought we were

:03:20.:03:33.

going to get into the final. Let's talk about one of the stars of the

:03:34.:03:39.

weekend, Katinka Hosszu, after her victory on Sunday she caught up with

:03:40.:03:45.

Sharron, this is what she had to say. How does it feel having this

:03:46.:03:51.

crowd, they are so noisy? It's incredible, I walked out and it is

:03:52.:03:55.

unbelievable. Hungarian swimming in a good place a lot of that is down

:03:56.:03:59.

to you, and you are no trailblazing for international swimmers to make

:04:00.:04:03.

it more professional, it is close to your heart? Definitely, swimming has

:04:04.:04:11.

huge potential. We have seen me can have 22,000 fans in the stadium and

:04:12.:04:16.

they go crazy so I think if we put more effort we can definitely go

:04:17.:04:21.

further. Very brave, well done. Thank you so much. For viewers who

:04:22.:04:27.

are not dedicated swimming fans can you explain what they are on about

:04:28.:04:34.

not to put it to simply it is a swimmers union? Yes, swimming is not

:04:35.:04:39.

that professional, you do not get in it to make money. She feels very

:04:40.:04:46.

strongly that everyone has their own view but she's trying to get it made

:04:47.:04:51.

professional. I cannot hear a thing any more, sorry. I think this crowd

:04:52.:04:57.

agreed. That is Katinka Hosszu coming out, that is what the crowd

:04:58.:05:02.

are cheering for and that is the atmosphere she alluded to, it's a

:05:03.:05:05.

crowd pleaser, people understand it and it's easy to follow. This place

:05:06.:05:11.

has been packed out every night. CHEERING

:05:12.:05:16.

They have a great history in this sport and the love they are

:05:17.:05:20.

swimming. Last night she had the 200 final before this race, half an

:05:21.:05:29.

hour. CHEERING Back-to-back is pretty hard and I am

:05:30.:05:35.

not going to write her off because I think it's this event and she known

:05:36.:05:39.

as the iron Lady and she is the toughest swimmer I have seen. Hah

:05:40.:05:47.

and her husband have celebrity status, they keep saying to not ask

:05:48.:05:50.

me anything because I cannot hear you. Let's hand over to our

:05:51.:05:55.

commentators, sorry we were being cheeky!

:05:56.:06:00.

The final is wide open for me, Katinka Hosszu goes in lane seven,

:06:01.:06:08.

all May the 6th fastest qualifier. No one has looked fantastic so far

:06:09.:06:31.

at this Championships. Another German who is the fastest in the

:06:32.:06:36.

world this year but based on the form of the team I cannot see her

:06:37.:06:42.

pulling it out. This may be her only chance of gold. I am not sure that

:06:43.:06:47.

pressure works in her favour. The rest of her compatriots have not

:06:48.:06:52.

done it, can she turn it around? She has qualified the fastest. The

:06:53.:06:57.

Chinese, 24 years of age, fifth in the Olympics last year. Would you

:06:58.:07:02.

bet against the iron Lady, Katinka Hosszu? The crowd is behind her,

:07:03.:07:09.

it's not favoured event but she does have medals in it at the European

:07:10.:07:16.

Championships 2010, 2014 and of course she won in 2012 so maybe she

:07:17.:07:18.

can do it. The final of the women's 200 metres

:07:19.:07:29.

butterfly is very hard to call, nobody has shown anything special so

:07:30.:07:33.

far, some brilliant swimming at this World Championships and so far maybe

:07:34.:07:38.

this is one of the weakest. The first final without an American.

:07:39.:07:39.

Interesting. Silence for the start. The cheering

:07:40.:07:53.

when the gun went off was extraordinary, two Hungarian women,

:07:54.:08:01.

lane one and Katinka Hosszu in lane seven, Katinka Hosszu has gone off

:08:02.:08:07.

reasonably quickly. She had a great start, great work from her. They are

:08:08.:08:16.

all in a line here. The 21-year-old Korean has started well, we'll help

:08:17.:08:25.

each other's year. Really good underwater work from lane four. A

:08:26.:08:32.

master tactician, the Olympic champion in lane three, she knows

:08:33.:08:41.

how to pace the race. Looking decent but I have to say Katinka Hosszu

:08:42.:08:44.

closest to us as well one line from the bottom in lane seven looking

:08:45.:08:49.

very good indeed and I think she might turn first, she has done. The

:08:50.:08:56.

crowd has gone nuts. The Olympic champion turned second just about.

:08:57.:09:03.

The pink city Olympic champion. The fastest in the world this year,

:09:04.:09:10.

Hentke of Germany. Still going well, Katinka Hosszu. The first woman to

:09:11.:09:18.

ever win a gold medal for Spain is showing her class here but Katinka

:09:19.:09:23.

Hosszu will not quit, she is so tough. Surely she does not have

:09:24.:09:25.

enough to real in the Olympic champion now? . What a turn that was

:09:26.:09:40.

from Katinka Hosszu, but Belmonte has done a brilliant 1500 metres,

:09:41.:09:47.

the German coming back, Hentke, coming back, Hentke, can she get the

:09:48.:09:54.

touch? Belmonte and three, Hentke and four, the gold goes to the

:09:55.:10:06.

Olympic champion Belmonte. A wonderful bronze, I have to say

:10:07.:10:11.

that's a brilliant bronze for Katinka Hosszu, qualifying sixth,

:10:12.:10:14.

she's got a massive smile on her face, the world champion, Belmonte

:10:15.:10:22.

gold at the World Championships to go with the Gold she got in Rio last

:10:23.:10:27.

year and a huge celebration from Katinka Hosszu for the bronze. That

:10:28.:10:38.

young lady is going to swim about seven the half thousand metres this

:10:39.:10:41.

week with all the races she is doing but brilliant, silver medal in the

:10:42.:10:47.

1500 with a gold medal on the 200 metres butterfly. Tactically it was

:10:48.:10:53.

brilliant, she knew exactly when to go. She was getting run down on the

:10:54.:11:02.

last 25 metres. Hentke. Neither of them had good finishes to be honest

:11:03.:11:06.

but one of them chose to glide, the other chose to take another stroke

:11:07.:11:12.

and jammed it. She was surprised she won. What did she think when she was

:11:13.:11:21.

gliding in? Come to me, Wall, that is what she was thinking! Perhaps

:11:22.:11:23.

not as plate is that! Let's give Belmonte respect she

:11:24.:11:46.

deserves before we get into a interview where the crowd will

:11:47.:11:52.

erupt. Belmonte very dominant. She is Olympic champion, second in the

:11:53.:11:58.

1500, so much back end, you knew when she came off the back while it

:11:59.:12:03.

got close but because she does 1500 she has so much in Juventus. I think

:12:04.:12:13.

you'd think the whole zoo, she -- Katinka Hosszu, I did not think she

:12:14.:12:16.

would win but it was a phenomenal race. This place is going crazy.

:12:17.:12:25.

It's nice to see the swimmer getting respect. The last 25 metres Belmonte

:12:26.:12:38.

in three, it came down to these last few strokes, it was going to be

:12:39.:12:45.

about to hit the wall right, Belmonte gliding in and Hentke

:12:46.:12:50.

taking an extra jab, the race was won before that last bit but we've

:12:51.:12:53.

seen races in the past one and lost by those tight finishes. Definitely.

:12:54.:12:58.

CHEERING It is every time I talk, they do not

:12:59.:13:04.

want me talking tonight! But I think Belmonte used the crowd, you could

:13:05.:13:07.

see her getting faster and faster and building it up, I think you

:13:08.:13:16.

could tell the crowd helped her. It's one of the nastiest races and I

:13:17.:13:21.

mean that in this sense, you're talking about, if you get the pacing

:13:22.:13:28.

wrong it really, really hurts. Have you ever done in a 200 metre flight?

:13:29.:13:35.

I did one when I was 15. I think we are building up to a challenge. The

:13:36.:13:42.

Hungarians love Katinka Hosszu and we love Brendan Foster and ahead of

:13:43.:13:46.

the world gliding Championships next week there is a documentary

:13:47.:13:50.

celebrating his career before he hangs up his microphone. Here's what

:13:51.:13:55.

you can expect. It's a simple story, local lad. When I think about him I

:13:56.:14:03.

just have two smile. Brendan Foster is a great athlete. What he achieved

:14:04.:14:09.

on the track was incredible. Gold medal for Great Britain,

:14:10.:14:13.

devastating. We have always had great competitors but few have gone

:14:14.:14:18.

on to put as much back as he has. He's a Geordie and he's great.

:14:19.:14:21.

Everybody loved him. The world athletics starts a week

:14:22.:14:33.

tomorrow in London and it features this guy. London, are you ready? Mo

:14:34.:14:45.

Farah wins the gold! It's going to be Dafne Schippers! Laura Muir

:14:46.:14:52.

smashes the British record! Usain Bolt! I'm ready!

:14:53.:15:00.

Next up in Budapest we have got the women's 200 metre breaststroke

:15:01.:15:09.

semifinals, two Brits, Joslin Ulyett and Molly Renshaw, let's hear from

:15:10.:15:11.

Molly. It is good to have new faces on the

:15:12.:15:29.

team after rear. How difficult is it with all the new talent now? It has

:15:30.:15:34.

kept me on my toes. It keeps me training hard and I cannot get

:15:35.:15:39.

comfortable with what I am doing because there are always people

:15:40.:15:44.

coming through. What is the target for Budapest? I would love to get

:15:45.:15:55.

into 2.22, VB and a 2.21, and get on the podium. Molly Renshaw was

:15:56.:16:02.

fastest coming into this qualifying heat. How impressed with you are you

:16:03.:16:13.

with her so far? She came third at the trials and it shows how much

:16:14.:16:18.

breaststroke in the UK for females is moving on. Chloe was fourth last

:16:19.:16:22.

year and she could not make the team this year because it was that close.

:16:23.:16:27.

But Molly is going from strength to strength and she will be trying to

:16:28.:16:31.

claw back her British record. One of the things we saw this morning is we

:16:32.:16:36.

have seen some really good heat. When it gets into the semifinals

:16:37.:16:40.

there are 16 people and to make the final of the eight, with the times

:16:41.:16:44.

this morning, she has got a lot more left and so have the others.

:16:45.:16:50.

Pedersen and King have all been down at 2.19, so she has to move things

:16:51.:16:56.

up. She is in a great lane and is in good form. We have got some really

:16:57.:17:02.

good 200 metre breaststroke swimmers and she could get under 2.22 and set

:17:03.:17:08.

herself up for the semifinal. You have been talking about the depth

:17:09.:17:11.

that we have and that is where Jocelyn Ulyett comes into it. She

:17:12.:17:17.

put on a fantastic performance and that is how she got into the team

:17:18.:17:21.

and has been speaking to Nick. How important are these World

:17:22.:17:24.

Championships and what do you want to get out of them? They are

:17:25.:17:31.

important to me because it is my first time representing GB and my

:17:32.:17:35.

first international meat. I want to enjoy it and have fun and go in with

:17:36.:17:40.

the same mentality and learn as much as I can and observe and absorb

:17:41.:17:44.

everything in the environment. There's talk about Jocelyn all yet.

:17:45.:17:49.

She is one of the younger members of the team coming through hot on the

:17:50.:17:55.

heels of Molly Renshaw. She is 21 years of aid which is not massively

:17:56.:18:01.

that young. We talk about Adam being young and he is only 22. Females are

:18:02.:18:07.

different. Lilly King is 20 and she picked up the gold medal. But what

:18:08.:18:14.

Nick has done with her is incredible. He is a bit like Mel

:18:15.:18:20.

Marshall, a young coach, but a young coach of passionate about the sport.

:18:21.:18:24.

We have heard she has been injured for the past couple of months. We do

:18:25.:18:29.

not know how, but she has had a few niggles. She was four seconds off

:18:30.:18:36.

her personal best time in the heats. But it is just the heats. That is a

:18:37.:18:43.

big drop from the trials. You go to a major meat and let's face it we

:18:44.:18:48.

all go and we want to do our best time, but it does not always happen.

:18:49.:18:55.

Not everyone is Adam Peaty, who gets a world record every time he jumps

:18:56.:18:59.

into the pool. She just has to do what she can do, she is injured. She

:19:00.:19:06.

has got a bright future. When we talk about the ages and we talk

:19:07.:19:09.

about the 200 fly with content causing and Del Monte, she will be

:19:10.:19:20.

24 in Tokyo and 2.22 is a very competitive time. There is plenty of

:19:21.:19:26.

quality in terms of the rest of the world. Here is a reminder of what

:19:27.:19:31.

happened earlier in the week. Let's join the race in the last 50.

:19:32.:19:41.

Lilly King is setting the pace. Not on the world record pace at this

:19:42.:19:48.

stage. Yulia Efimova has a tremendously fast finish. The

:19:49.:19:56.

Olympic champion from Rio, Lilly King, is going very fast and she is

:19:57.:20:03.

powering down this second 50. Coming back really quickly is Yulia Efimova

:20:04.:20:07.

from Russia, but it looks like Lilly Kane. She is the Olympic champion

:20:08.:20:12.

and now she is the world champion. That is a new world record for Lilly

:20:13.:20:19.

King of the USA. What a wonderful swim. A fantastic start. A very good

:20:20.:20:26.

first 50. She has just realised she has got the world record and the

:20:27.:20:30.

gold medal. Yulia Efimova just cannot believe it. And out of a

:20:31.:20:37.

quality in terms of worldwide women's breaststroke, but talk about

:20:38.:20:42.

the characters. Lilly King, Yulia Efimova, we will be seeing them

:20:43.:20:49.

tonight. It is a controversial event and Lilly King has been one of the

:20:50.:20:53.

more outspoken people. She did not even shake Yuli's hand. It is

:20:54.:21:05.

understandable. Lilly King wants to be the cleanest and the best in the

:21:06.:21:09.

sport and she wants to get on the podium. This morning she wanted to

:21:10.:21:14.

make a statement. When someone does something wrong, everyone says it is

:21:15.:21:23.

not right, but she has done her time and she is now clean so to speak and

:21:24.:21:28.

she has just got to swim. Let's turn our attention to the women's 200

:21:29.:21:32.

metres breaststroke semifinal and in the first one we have got Joslyn all

:21:33.:21:37.

yet and in the second semifinal we have got Molly Renshaw.

:21:38.:21:47.

Joslyn all yet will be in lane one. She has been injured and it will be

:21:48.:21:55.

tough to repeat her record. Lilly King of the USA, the new world

:21:56.:21:59.

record holder on the 100 metres breaststroke. Gold and silver for

:22:00.:22:04.

the American University Championships. It was King and

:22:05.:22:11.

Smith. Jessica Vall swam well in the heat this morning. She looked very

:22:12.:22:16.

smooth. Yes, the Spaniard looked very smooth and she will be going

:22:17.:22:26.

next to Lilly King. She was so passionate, Lilly Kane, when she

:22:27.:22:30.

beat Yulia Efimova and one the gold medal. She has vastly improved under

:22:31.:22:35.

200 metres breaststroke. She did not even make the final last in Rio. But

:22:36.:22:41.

if she could get a medal tomorrow night, that would be impressive. It

:22:42.:22:46.

is a good chance to get some experience for Joslyn all yet.

:22:47.:22:54.

Looking forward to seeing how she can do, maybe building on the

:22:55.:22:58.

experience and confidence she will get from being in this World

:22:59.:23:04.

Championship semifinal. That will be for the Commonwealth Games and for

:23:05.:23:11.

2020. The first semifinal of the women's 200 metres breaststroke. The

:23:12.:23:17.

world record-holder in the 100, Lilly King in the centre. The black

:23:18.:23:28.

hat and the Black suit of Lilly King in lane four. Just a bully it is at

:23:29.:23:33.

the top for Great Britain. It is a very good start from King. A

:23:34.:23:36.

completely different tempo from the men's event. They are all about

:23:37.:23:43.

distance per stroke. Although Lilly King is very efficient, her turnover

:23:44.:23:48.

is very higher. The efficiency and the higher turnover results in the

:23:49.:23:53.

gap that is opening up at the moment. She is going down well. She

:23:54.:23:58.

will have oodles of confidence after the win in the 100. Is that because

:23:59.:24:06.

she did not have any before? It comes out of every pore. She is only

:24:07.:24:10.

20 years of age but very serious. On the right-hand side of the screen,

:24:11.:24:17.

Joslyn all yet will benefit from having the Olympic bronze medallist

:24:18.:24:21.

next to her. When you are in that position you cannot see anything

:24:22.:24:25.

beyond that lane next to you and I hope that is a benefit for her.

:24:26.:24:32.

Joslyn all yet is ahead at the moment of Lilly King. She is!

:24:33.:24:39.

Jinglin Shi was the first to turn. Joslyn all yet was second. Lilly

:24:40.:24:46.

King, having built her up an awful lot, she does not look great and

:24:47.:24:50.

Kierra Smith of Canada is starting to come through. She will be

:24:51.:24:56.

thinking to herself, I am not doing very well. Hopefully she has an

:24:57.:25:02.

understanding that she is doing well. Joslyn all yet does not look

:25:03.:25:12.

injured to me. She is just a second behind the Olympic bronze medallist.

:25:13.:25:16.

If she can keep this pace together, she will be through to the final.

:25:17.:25:22.

Kierra Smith from Canada is starting to turn it on. Come on, Joslyn all

:25:23.:25:27.

yet. This is brilliant from her. She is starting to catch up from Jinglin

:25:28.:25:33.

Shi in China. We were talking about her having an injury. But the rest

:25:34.:25:38.

of the field are now starting to charge. Joslyn all yet is getting a

:25:39.:25:45.

bit tired. If she can finish fourth it could be useful because King does

:25:46.:25:57.

not look good. Jinglin Shi wins it. Lilly King did not look great in

:25:58.:26:03.

fourth. Oh, my goodness me, Lilly King of the USA beat Joslyn all yet

:26:04.:26:11.

by one 100th of a second. It is very good. Very good indeed. King was

:26:12.:26:20.

awful. She may not make the final. That might be a huge one 100th of a

:26:21.:26:27.

second. I think that would definitely knock out the Brit. But

:26:28.:26:33.

she did ever so well. Let's wait for the second semifinal because it is a

:26:34.:26:45.

decent one. It will be very close. This is all about getting in there.

:26:46.:26:53.

She just jammed it a little bit. King finishes on a full stroke which

:26:54.:26:59.

is helpful. The result of the first semifinal of the women's 200 metres

:27:00.:27:06.

breaststroke. Joslyn all yet could still make the final. A decent swim

:27:07.:27:13.

from Joslyn all yet. How confident are you that will get her into the

:27:14.:27:18.

final? I do not think she will get in, but you never know. It might be

:27:19.:27:23.

that 100th of a second that might make the difference. The second

:27:24.:27:28.

semifinal featuring Molly Renshaw will be on the Red Button. If you

:27:29.:27:33.

want to see her race, you need to push your Red Button now. That is

:27:34.:27:41.

where the coverage continues. If you want to see the world swimming

:27:42.:27:48.
