But pretty much every day this week, he has set a new world record and | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
taken a new world title but, but, you know what, Adam Peaty isn't the | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
only one going for gold this evening. Here's what's coming up. | :01:12. | :01:19. | |
Will Duncan slam dunk and into the final? We've got Georgia on our | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
mind, she's in the 50 metres backstroke. On course for another | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
world record, blink and you'll miss him, Adam Peaty. And can he take it | :01:31. | :01:39. | |
to the max? Record-breaking Max Litchfield goes in the 200 metres | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
individual medley. He is certainly a special talent, but how much is this | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
a special time in British swimming? It's a great time. It's one of those | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
decades you get a lot of people at the same time, and we seem to have | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
such strength in depth in the British team at the moment. The men | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
have been dominating this meet. In the past, we have had the likes of | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
Becky and Joe, but the men at the moment are really leading the way. | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
The Hungarian crowd are going crazy, because there are some of the | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
biggest Hungarian talent in the pool this evening, but all British eyes | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
are on Adam Peaty. We'll talk a lot about him. A word first on the | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
women's 200 metres freestyle. This is one of the main races I'm looking | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
forward to. It's going to be so close. I really hope she can get her | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
fourth gold medal tonight. Over to your commentators, Andy and Steve, | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
to take us through the women's 200 metres freestyle final. | :02:43. | :02:50. | |
What a final bid is! Katinka Hosszu goes in two for Hungary. Katie P of | :02:51. | :03:02. | |
the USO, the most successful female swimmer in World Championship | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
history. She has already won 12 gold medals she is only 20. | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
Extraordinary. Somebody is going to challenge her, Stephen Parry sitting | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
with me, Olympic bronze-medallist, it could be Federico Ricca linguine. | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
She has won more medals at this venue costs -- then you can stake a | :03:21. | :03:30. | |
-- shake a stick at. The Russian, 26, she is in good form. | :03:31. | :03:42. | |
She won silver 100 metres fly. If she is, Katie Ledecki, 12 World | :03:43. | :03:52. | |
Championship medals. This is the 200. If she can win this in the 800, | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
she'll be the first woman in history. It's mind-boggling what she | :04:00. | :04:11. | |
can do. She is the most successful female individual other. A lot of | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
people have been talking about her physique and how much beef she has | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
put on Updike, and how she has done that generate more power and she's | :04:25. | :04:32. | |
going to need it you need a strategy in this event, and you will see the | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
Australian, McKeown, taking it out. Pellegrini, the world record-holder, | :04:36. | :04:46. | |
is in two. Ledecki Bin Laden two. A bit of confusion at the start. | :04:47. | :05:03. | |
Should be a whistle and everybody stand by their blocks and, at the | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
second whistle, they get up on the back of the blocks, but a couple | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
swimmers got up slightly early. We are getting the announcer telling | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
the audience to keep quite every time a Hungarian gets on the blocks. | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
It's very loud in here. The final of the women's 200 metres freestyle. | :05:23. | :05:32. | |
Ledecky, very good start, as usual. She qualified fastest for this final | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
straight after the 1500 metres freestyle that she's won yesterday. | :05:40. | :05:48. | |
McKeown, in the yellow hat, she took it out almost too fast yesterday. | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
She went to 70 metres blisteringly quick, but she seems to have held | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
back a bit, although she is still leading. She is half a second on | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
double -- underworld record pace. Ledecky is right on her hip. Ledecky | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
will have the stamina. She is right there on the four and the 800, so | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
she has the pace. This will play into the hands of the swimmers | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
either side of Emma McKeown. McKeown leading at the halfway turn. Ledecky | :06:23. | :06:30. | |
starting in four. McKeown first, Ledecky second. In three, Katinka | :06:31. | :06:38. | |
Hosszu of Hungary, but the big guys having a sense of occasion. | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
Pellegrini to the right of those leaders, and that's interesting. She | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
comes back fast on the last 50, but she's got an awful lot of work to | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
do. Maybe about a metre behind. Ledecky leading slightly maybe. This | :06:53. | :07:00. | |
is an absolute ding-dong, coming down this final leg. McKeown just | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
won't quit. She was there last year in the Olympics and she looks | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
sensational. And Pellegrini coming into the mix. A great race. | :07:09. | :07:18. | |
Pellegrini is coming back very fast. The black hat Pellegrini. She is the | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
world record holder, and I think she's going to beat Ledecky. She has | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
got the gold! What a massive shock! She has beaten the greatest World | :07:28. | :07:35. | |
Championship medallist in history, Katie Ledecky, and that's a big | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
shock for me. It could be the shock of the championships. Gold has gone | :07:39. | :07:47. | |
to Pellegrini, silver to Ledecky and bronze to McKeown of Australia. I | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
didn't expect that! It just goes to show, Katie Ledecky, she is human | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
after all. This girl hasn't lost in four years, and look what it means. | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
She isn't the Queen of middle distance swimming any more, Katie | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
Ledecky. Pellegrini has shown her, at the age of 28, that she can be | :08:09. | :08:16. | |
beaten. She has a weak spot. The timing of that was extraordinary, | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
because Pellegrini was about a metre down with about 55 to go. In the | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
last turn, McKeown was really be stalking horse, the pace setter, but | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
coming down this last 50, Steve, goodness me, she came from close to | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
nowhere. She really was rolling back the years, and she took the girls | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
apart over those last 20 metres. What a brilliant tactical plan that | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
was from Pellegrini. She didn't get called into the cat and mouse game | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
debt in the first 50. She can't believe it, can she? -- down the | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
first 50. The Italian superstar rolling back the years. Pellegrini | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
was World Championship silver-medallist 12 years ago in | :09:05. | :09:12. | |
this event. 12 years ago! Aged 16. She has come back at age 28, taking | :09:13. | :09:20. | |
gold. Oh, my word! What a surprise! I didn't think I'd read this out. | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
Pellegrini of Italy is the world champion in the 200 metres | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
freestyle. Katie Ledecky has silver, Emma McKeown for bronze. | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
Fair play to Pellegrini! That was a heck of a swing. She's been around | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
for so long. You seem a bit angry, because you love Ledecky, but you | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
love an underdog. I'm not angry at all! It always causes an upset, this | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
one. Fair play to Pellegrini, because she's been a medallist in | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
that event since 2005 World Championships. She is such a credit. | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
I would have put my house on Ledecky winning. I think the entire pool put | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
their money on Ledecky going into that rates. That is the beauty of | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
seeing an upset. Last year, totally unbeatable, and now we have seen her | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
beaten. The semifinal swim Katie Ledecky, after her 1500, that would | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
have won that. She either needs to swim a 1500 beforehand. | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
It wasn't hard enough for her, was it? The last 25, we said it would | :10:31. | :10:39. | |
deliver and dictate. To be fair, Ledecky doesn't have another speed. | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
She's got one speed. And Pellegrini has a turn of speed. Pellegrini and | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
McKeown are better, home and swimmers. Normally they have been | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
blown away bye-bye that point. Ledecky doesn't have the extra speed | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
at the moment. We know that she can go faster, and probably a change of | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
coach and this year being at university has been a bit like | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
change. We've got the men's 100 free semifinals now. Duncan Scott came | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
into this competition the fastest in the world we are interested to see | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
if that is put some pressure on him. Let's take a look. It's a great | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
opportunity and a great chance. The year after the Olympics. Most years | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
after Olympics are slightly slower, some would say, and you can back | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
that up as well. With the times they've been -- I've been going this | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
year, I don't think that Budapest will be much slower, to be honest. | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
It's another great chance to race internationally. I've only ever | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
raced internationally once at an Olympics. For me, it's still | :11:47. | :11:55. | |
relatively new. I'm not sure... And I've got the 203. I'm looking | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
forward to it. There are chances in those events. -- the 200 freestyle. | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
I'm just looking forward to going out and racing. Duncan Scott goes in | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
the first semifinal for Great Britain, and he'll have to be speedy | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
because the second one is pretty stacked. | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
The first semifinal of the men's 100 metres freestyle. There is a big | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
chap in Leiden four, Mehdy Metella of France. He looked very good this | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
morning. And here he is, Mehdy Metella. I was talking to the French | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
commentators and they were picking him up, possibly because he seems to | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
be the only Frenchman here. I think they've got a team of about eight or | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
nine, very unusual, and they haven't turned up at all in the pool. The | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
French really are in the doldrums at the moment. Half of their superstars | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
are next door in the commentary box. They could do with some of them back | :12:56. | :13:03. | |
in the water, I think. That's Mehdy Metella, and Jack Cartwright, 18 | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
years old. He is going next to Duncan Scott. What a season, the | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
fastest guy in the world, coming into this meet. He needs to show | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
some of that class at this race, getting through to the final | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
tomorrow night. A very big second semifinal line-up. These guys have | :13:23. | :13:30. | |
got to move. First semi, men's 100 metres freestyle. Duncan Scott in | :13:31. | :13:38. | |
six. Scott got away reasonably well, probably his sixth best start. Very | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
good start in the centre for the Frenchman in lane four. Mehdy | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
Metella is super down this first 50. I'd like to see Duncan Scott start | :13:49. | :13:55. | |
to drop the hammer. He's got to bring it home on the second 50. He's | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
more than capable of doing that on the 200 freestyle. It was really | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
strong during the week. Look at him starting to work his way back in. | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
He's taken Jack Cartwright in lane five. Mehdy Metella has about 50 | :14:08. | :14:15. | |
metres to go. Duncan Scott starting to come back. He still got work to | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
do, but this is good. Straight arms from Mehdy Metella down the last 15 | :14:21. | :14:28. | |
metres. 47 .60 five. The fringe guys said they thought he could go 47.6, | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
and he has done it. A massive lifetime bets. Duncan Scott in | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
third, 48.1. That be good enough. The top two, Metella and Cartwright. | :14:39. | :14:47. | |
Duncan Scott, 48.1. There is a strong second semi to come. The | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
18-year-old, well, he's only made it in because Kyle shamus, the Lib Peck | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
champion from Australia, is out with heart surgery. -- the Olympic | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
champion. A beautiful start for him. He came off about half a metre | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
ahead. Duncan Scott looked powerful. Let's concentrate on Metella. A | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
great finish from him. Just getting that hand on the wall. He's got to | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
be one of the favourites tomorrow. Half a second PB, on the 100 | :15:20. | :15:27. | |
freestyle. That's unheard-of. He won the first semi by a third of a | :15:28. | :15:29. | |
second. It is about time, so in theory, he | :15:30. | :15:38. | |
could be be in danger from the second semi, I think he will be OK. | :15:39. | :15:49. | |
Big second semi, can McVoy in four, and I think, Sharron Davies talking | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
to Duncan Scot. Duncan, a good swim there, probably | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
good enough to get you through to the final. Here is hoping. Yes, | :15:58. | :16:05. | |
happy with that. It has been a tough couple of day, it is going to be a | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
dog fight tomorrow. Tell me about the thinking behind the windmill | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
stroke at the end. Still trying to master it. Trying to keep my stroke | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
long at the end of the race. Maybe try and touch out, I don't know if | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
it works yet. Am still trying to learn. They are all tall big guys. | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
When you stand next to them. They are bigger, but your strength to | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
weight ratio is good. Definitely. Definitely. Yes, I think that helps | :16:36. | :16:45. | |
to my advantage, in the last 25 metres, I was starting to hurt. I | :16:46. | :16:54. | |
used it to my advantage. See you tomorrow. There is Nathan | :16:55. | :17:02. | |
Adrian. He is only fastest qualifiers. Olympic champion in | :17:03. | :17:13. | |
London. There is the Japanese Shioura. This chap led off the | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
American relay 47.2. An unbelievable swim that was. You watch his start. | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
We will look at that in a second. Obviously. | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
Not right now, but we will look at it in a minute. Dressel's starts are | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
phenomenal. This guy is an enigma, he is a brilliant sprint freestyler | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
and he just doesn't seem to win the golds, he keeps turning up as the | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
favourite, Steve, what is the deal with this guy? You are right, Andy, | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
it is clearly a mental issue for him, because I mean, he has a | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
beautiful stroke, it is so smooth, it is almost the model of efficiency | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
if you watch him swim. He was sub 48 morning but it will be interesting | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
to see, if McVoy, if he can progress through the rounds or if he will | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
struggle as he can do. But for me, I think the race is going to be | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
centred round lane five. The American, there he is Nathan Adrian | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
there, they were messing round this morning. Dressel and Adrian, they | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
were taking the mickey, and just watch this guy. There is Nathan | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
Adrian there, but the guy next to him, Caleb Dressel in five, fastest | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
start in the world at the moment. There he is. | :18:25. | :18:31. | |
He will be so quick off the blocks. Second semifinal of the men's | :18:32. | :18:40. | |
100-metre freestyle. Look at the start from Dressel. Look | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
at that start from Dressel. Oh my word. Stop the race there and he | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
must be 0.3 of a second ahead. Extraordinary. This easy are the | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
best swimmers in the world. McVoy in the centre. They are a massive | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
disadvantage. Just because of Dressel's start. He means business | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
here, doesn't he. A few fly leg kicks off the wall. Look at the | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
skills there to ten metres, he has worked that but Nathan Adrian has | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
been an Olympic champion before, he is not messing about. Can McVoy | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
stick with him? You will see three world class times here Andy. This is | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
a very quick semi, and Nathan Adrian coming back very quickly in six. | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
Looks good. Dressel in five, aid yap in six. Look-a-likes it is Dressel. | :19:23. | :19:32. | |
It is, 47.66. And the good news for Great Britain and Duncan Scot is he | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
is into the final. He will be about fifth or sixth. S like it is | :19:40. | :19:50. | |
Dressel. It is, 47.66. And the good news for Great Britain and Duncan | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
Scot is he is into the final. He will be about fifth or sixth. Nathan | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
Adrian looked good. 47.. They have done the job. What about their start | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
from Dressel. You are looking at the best sprinters in the world. They | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
cannot hang with the guy. He is not that much quicker off the blocks but | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
his underwater work is phenomenal. He has taken half a metre out of the | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
rest of the field on the start. I mean, that is, it is phenomenal. He | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
is swimming slower than these two other guys, it is just he is getting | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
so much off that start, it is fantastic. I think they might have | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
been holding back slightly at the end. I think may have more to give. | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
Dressel led off in 47.2. Are you still thinking that? He has had a | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
tough week. He has raced a lot there is a question mark over Dressel for | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
me. I won't be popular but he was capable of winning that 50 metres | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
butterfly against Ben Proud, for me, he didn't do it when it mattered | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
most. Well, a quick second semifinal. | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
Dressel winning it. McVoy third, they could be the three medallists, | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
let us hope Duncan Scot has something to do with that. The | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
qualifiers for the final. I think Duncan Scot is in fifth or sixth, | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
something like that. Let us have a look. Sixth. That is great news for | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
Great Britain. Metella goes in fastest. What a final that is going | :21:13. | :21:14. | |
to be tomorrow night. Wow. | :21:15. | :21:22. | |
Great newses for Duncan Scot going into the final against some big | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
names and muscles and talentment what do you make of what he said to | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
Sharon, about how you know, I am still learning about this. I think | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
he S like you look at someone like Nathan Adrian, way more experienced | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
than Duncan is, he does similar to what Nathan Adrian does, the last | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
five metre, almost like a windmill stroke, straight arm. He still has | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
to play round with that. This is his debut scene really. Yes he was in | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
Rio but he has stepped it up this year, he has got a lot. Who is going | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
to take it? I would say just, because his underwater is so good | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
Dressel. He tightened up a lot. That can come to a final. That is where | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
Adrian has the experience. What Duncan makes up for a lot is he is | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
so slight. He is tiny, he will get muscle on and catch them up. We will | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
see Great Britain's Georgia Davis in the pool twice, later on in the | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
relay, first she goes in the semifinals of the 50-metre | :22:21. | :22:28. | |
backstroke. Let us hear from her. Rio had like ups and downs for me, | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
as a team it was literally the most fantastic team to be part of, with | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
so much success, to come away with a personal best time at an Olympic | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
Games which I am told only a small percentage do, I was chuffed. I | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
showed me the training has paid off. I kind of clicks how I want to swim | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
my race and pacing and things like that, it has come together for me, | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
which is quite exciting. Doing lifetime best times and I am loving | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
what I am doing. I get to travel the world with some pretty cool people. | :23:04. | :23:11. | |
Georgia Davis goes in the first of the two semifinals. Good luck | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
Georgia. Georgia Davies will be in lane five, | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
the Commonwealth champion next to Emily Seebohm in six. The | :23:22. | :23:29. | |
Commonwealth record holder. Aliaksandra Herasimenia is in four. | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
This is a very interesting field. The fastest this year is Wang, of | :23:34. | :23:42. | |
China. She is in lane three. China have four of the five fastest women | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
in the world, on 50 backstroke this year. I don't think it is exactly | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
bald statement that we can predict gold here for China. Emily Seebohm | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
there. She is, she has some speed, it is her first semifinal here. | :24:00. | :24:08. | |
Women's 50-metre back. Georgia Davies in the black cap of Great | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
Britain. So one length backstroke. | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
Semifinal of the women's 50 metres backstroke at the World | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
Championship, there was only six tenths of a second that split the | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
field after the heats this morning. Georgia Davies started quite slowly, | :24:25. | :24:26. | |
relatively. And came through in the second half. She looks good at the | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
moment. She needs to have a good last ten year. Georgia Davies in the | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
black hat, in the centre, she is going well. Needs a good tough. Look | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
at that. She has won it. 27.49. That is very good. Good. It is just | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
outside the Commonwealth record, another British record for her, that | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
is very very good swimming indeed. Two one Hunts of a second outside | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
the Commonwealth record, winning the first semifinal. Very very | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
impressive indeed. Andy, great skills there look, her | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
finish was fantastic, the way she got her hand on wall. She didn't | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
look like winning it with threat metres to go. Had a fantastic finish | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
and the exciting thing about that time, is that that will put her | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
right in the mix for medals if she the repeat that tomorrow night. | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
Fantastic start there. There is Seebohm, she started well. Georgia | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
Davies, 15 metres to go. You could throw a blanket over the middle | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
four. It is about spotting the finish. Make sure you get your arms | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
on the wall and she did. Touch that pad a bit harder than Seebohm. It is | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
almost synchronised swimming. Well, that was an outstanding swim. That | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
second half really very good indeed. A great smile as well. | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
So confirmation of the result of that first semifinal of the women's | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
backstroke, great news for Great Britain. Georgia Davies winning it. | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
27.49. New British record. Seebohm second. Herasimenia third. | :25:58. | :26:04. | |
And Georgia Davies talking to Sharon now. | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
Georgia congratulations, British record and so close to the | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
Commonwealth record. I have to say I have been watching you swim for | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
year, you look the best I have seen you today. Thank you. It is nice to | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
be able to come back in few days after a bit of disappointment and | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
turn things round and that is a personal best time, which I have not | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
done since Glasgow in 2014, so, I have wanted a best time for a while | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
now. I am pleased to get it here. You mentioned you still love the 50, | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
you are in love with this event. It is a lot of fast arms going and you | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
took the scalp of a couple of girls who are well-known for their fast | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
50s. The depth here is incredible, so, I knew especially being in the | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
first semifinal, you can't leave anything behind, because especially | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
after the 100, when the second semifinal was so fast and then I | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
missed out, I just wanted to go in and swim as fast as I could, hope | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
flip buck myself up in the final tonight, and well I hope that is | :27:10. | :27:12. | |
good enough. It should be I think. I am sure you will. We have been | :27:13. | :27:15. | |
keeping our fingers crossed. Good luck. Thank you. | :27:16. | :27:24. | |
Second semifinal of the women's 50m Backstroke, one stacked gold and | :27:25. | :27:27. | |
silver two years ago in four and five and the gold and silver in | :27:28. | :27:33. | |
lanes one an two. What a semifinal this is. Fu of China though, fastest | :27:34. | :27:39. | |
in the world this year, 27.2. The time she set in the heats this | :27:40. | :27:45. | |
morning. Georgia Davies just went 27.4. That | :27:46. | :27:48. | |
is the second fastest time in the world this year, very quick. What a | :27:49. | :27:53. | |
great swim from Georgia. I fear tomorrow night in the final there be | :27:54. | :27:56. | |
a couple of tenths of a second separating the whole field. If you | :27:57. | :28:00. | |
think about the distance Adam Peaty wins his 50s in, it brings it into | :28:01. | :28:05. | |
perspective, but Fu here, going in lane four. She will be hard to beat. | :28:06. | :28:12. | |
Maybe Masse can do it. She is the gold medallist from the 100 metres | :28:13. | :28:16. | |
backstroke, he has struggled with her speed. There is Wang of China. | :28:17. | :28:23. | |
The world's fastest 50 metres backstroke, the defending World | :28:24. | :28:27. | |
Champion. There is only 13th on the individual 100 back here, a big | :28:28. | :28:32. | |
surprise really. She can be fastest in the world on 50 back by 0. 3 of a | :28:33. | :28:38. | |
second and only come 13th on the 100. Very urn usual. | :28:39. | :28:44. | |
-- unusual. Second semifinal of the women's 50m Backstroke. Fu of China | :28:45. | :28:47. | |
right in the centre. So Georgia Davies already thrown | :28:48. | :29:01. | |
down sub 27.5 in the first semi. Here we have Fu, a poor start in | :29:02. | :29:06. | |
lane six. That is a shocker from Stevens. But Fu going well. Medeiros | :29:07. | :29:13. | |
of Brazil going well. Fu in four. Medeiros in five. Fu a bit bouncy, | :29:14. | :29:19. | |
not looking as good is a she did in the heats. Medeiros stretching a | :29:20. | :29:23. | |
long way out but she got the touch, 27.18. That is the fastest in the | :29:24. | :29:30. | |
world this year. 27.18 wins it for Medeiros, 27.19 for Fu. That is | :29:31. | :29:37. | |
going to be a massive final, Baker also just beating Great Britain's | :29:38. | :29:46. | |
Georgia Davies, 27.48. Georgia has to go fourth fastest in that final. | :29:47. | :29:50. | |
Great chance of a medal. What a swim. 27.18 for Medeiros. You are | :29:51. | :29:56. | |
starting to think that they can threaten the 27 barrier, a tenth of | :29:57. | :29:59. | |
a second they were off the world record. That is just finger-tip | :30:00. | :30:04. | |
stuff there. Fu is not happy there. In the centre | :30:05. | :30:08. | |
of screen there, she isn't used to getting beat. A bit bouncy Fu there. | :30:09. | :30:14. | |
She was. You don't want to be wasting your time going up and down. | :30:15. | :30:18. | |
You want to get your arm on the wall. Look what it mean, they have | :30:19. | :30:21. | |
won this three of the last four times China. That dominance could be | :30:22. | :30:23. | |
threatened tomorrow night. Three of the last four golds in the | :30:24. | :30:34. | |
World Championships for China. But Etiene Medeiros wins the second | :30:35. | :30:41. | |
semifinal. I think that Georgia Davies will be forth. Let's check on | :30:42. | :30:51. | |
that. There they are. Medeiros in fastest. -- fastest. | :30:52. | :30:59. | |
That's going to be a great final. A great swim from Georgia Davies. | :31:00. | :31:07. | |
It's just got really loud in here. We are building up to the men's 200 | :31:08. | :31:10. | |
butterfly, featuring two prominent Hungarians. Georgia Davies, a | :31:11. | :31:15. | |
brilliant swim from her. New British record. It's great to see her back | :31:16. | :31:22. | |
on form. She looks in incredible shape. I think, when you know you | :31:23. | :31:27. | |
are swimming well, she's got the relay later and hopefully she'll be | :31:28. | :31:32. | |
buzzing of that for that relay. She seems to be quicker for every race. | :31:33. | :31:36. | |
Some people do that, they need to get up and race and feel more | :31:37. | :31:40. | |
relaxed. She got a great start, her underwater is brilliant. Feeding off | :31:41. | :31:44. | |
that spring environment just helps, being around other positive, | :31:45. | :31:51. | |
world-class people. She seems to be getting faster through the rounds, | :31:52. | :31:54. | |
another 24 hours rest and hopefully she will be faster tomorrow and who | :31:55. | :31:58. | |
knows in the final. When it gets tight and it comes to the last few | :31:59. | :32:03. | |
strokes, anything can happen. That will set her up nicely for the relay | :32:04. | :32:08. | |
later. Definitely hunting a place on the podium, the British team. Next, | :32:09. | :32:14. | |
the men's 200 metres fly final, one of the biggest races of the night. | :32:15. | :32:18. | |
It's going to go crazy in here, because we have Tamas Kenderesi and | :32:19. | :32:25. | |
Laszlo Cseh, a huge superstar. Let's see what happens in this one. It's | :32:26. | :32:29. | |
the changing of the guard, no Michael Phelps. Who's going to take | :32:30. | :32:30. | |
top spot? Thank you, Helen, and what a final | :32:31. | :32:41. | |
it's going to be. Laszlo Cseh, the world fastest this year, in lane | :32:42. | :32:47. | |
one. Tamas Kenderesi, the 20-year-old Hungarian, introduced to | :32:48. | :32:50. | |
his home crowd. Olympic bronze-medallist. The crowd is so | :32:51. | :32:59. | |
rowdy. Even louder Laszlo Cseh, defending world champion. Hungary in | :33:00. | :33:05. | |
three and five. What a final this is going to be. Laszlo Cseh, defending | :33:06. | :33:10. | |
champion, European record-holder and, in between the two of them, | :33:11. | :33:20. | |
they are Saito of Japan. -- Seto of Japan. | :33:21. | :33:28. | |
Laszlo Cseh in five. Next to him, actually, we didn't see him come | :33:29. | :33:34. | |
out, it's Chad Le Clos of South Africa. Olympic champion from 2012. | :33:35. | :33:39. | |
He beat Michael Phelps. I'm enjoyed by Great Britain's Stephen Parry, | :33:40. | :33:48. | |
Olympic bronze-medallist. Tough one to call! It is. With Michael Phelps | :33:49. | :33:55. | |
not being here, last year, 200 fly, he won the Olympic gold by only four | :33:56. | :34:00. | |
one hundredths of a second. And Masato Sakai is going in lane one. | :34:01. | :34:07. | |
He hasn't looked up to much. He looked out of sorts. I think this is | :34:08. | :34:12. | |
wide open for the Hungarians. Tamas Kenderesi going in lane three | :34:13. | :34:17. | |
Hungary. He got the bronze in the 200 fly. As Laszlo Cseh. I've got to | :34:18. | :34:21. | |
be honest, I'd love to see him do this. It seems fitting. He's not out | :34:22. | :34:28. | |
-- missed out so many times. I think he will. | :34:29. | :34:34. | |
The final of the men's 200 metres butterfly, at the World | :34:35. | :34:41. | |
Championships here in Budapest, Hungary. Kenderesi of Hungary in | :34:42. | :34:45. | |
three, Cseh of Hungary in five. Four lengths of Hall butterflies, | :34:46. | :35:00. | |
and the roof was about come off. -- four lengths of pool butterfly. A | :35:01. | :35:09. | |
good start down the first 25. His problem is not going out too hard. | :35:10. | :35:16. | |
He lost to fly and dived, to get out there and put the field under | :35:17. | :35:19. | |
pressure, but he ends up hurting in the end. I fear he might be doing | :35:20. | :35:25. | |
the same. That is Michael Phelps's world record and he's a true legend. | :35:26. | :35:29. | |
He's got to be careful he doesn't out too hard. He's put the rest of | :35:30. | :35:34. | |
the field under pressure. Laszlo Cseh is holding back, swimming his | :35:35. | :35:39. | |
own race, and letting Chad Le Clos do his thing, not getting caught | :35:40. | :35:43. | |
into it. What a raceway going to have. The third 50 will be | :35:44. | :35:49. | |
all-important. That's the halfway turn, just outside Michael Phelps's | :35:50. | :35:53. | |
record. 53.2, he is a full body length ahead. There is clear water | :35:54. | :35:56. | |
between him and Laszlo Cseh, to the left of him. Cseh will come back | :35:57. | :36:06. | |
fast, and so will Seto of Japan. Senedd Tamas Kenderesi always comes | :36:07. | :36:10. | |
back fast. Right at the top is the world's fastest. I think he's gone | :36:11. | :36:16. | |
too fast. He frustrates me. He has all the talent in the world and | :36:17. | :36:21. | |
sometimes he swims like a rookie. Just look at Tamas Kenderesi, in | :36:22. | :36:24. | |
three. A terrible turn from him. And Laszlo Cseh is seizing his | :36:25. | :36:29. | |
opportunity. He fancies this. The crowd is behind him. Can he take | :36:30. | :36:35. | |
Chad Le Clos, or can Chad Le Clos hold on? Laszlo Cseh is coming back | :36:36. | :36:41. | |
fast, but it looks like Chad may hold on. This is gutsy. His head is | :36:42. | :36:48. | |
down. He does it. What a fantastic, that the swim from Chad Le Clos. | :36:49. | :36:54. | |
I've got to say, I expect that. -- gutsy swim. I didn't expect he could | :36:55. | :37:00. | |
hold on, and he has gone 153.3. Chad Le Clos, world champion on the 200 | :37:01. | :37:05. | |
metres butterfly. The silver has gone to Cseh, the bronze to Seto, at | :37:06. | :37:13. | |
Tamas Kenderesi in fourth. A surprise for me. But what a swim | :37:14. | :37:21. | |
that was. I can't believe that, tactically, Cseh does that! Goodness | :37:22. | :37:28. | |
me! Chad Le Clos, well, he and his dad won famous applause in 2012, but | :37:29. | :37:36. | |
coming on and saying, lovely boy, when he won that wonderful race | :37:37. | :37:40. | |
against Michael Phelps, beating Phelps by just 51 hundredths of a | :37:41. | :37:47. | |
second to the gold medal in the London Olympic aquatics centre. God, | :37:48. | :37:49. | |
that must have hurt so much! He is holding on for dear life. Look at | :37:50. | :37:56. | |
him! Is start was excellent. Three links from the bottom. Very good. | :37:57. | :38:06. | |
Look how tight he is forced first to the service, head down, no briefing | :38:07. | :38:10. | |
on the first stroke. He was a long, long way ahead there is the Hundred | :38:11. | :38:17. | |
turn, A full body length ahead. Now the pain in the lungs at this | :38:18. | :38:22. | |
time... Beautiful. And close to the water. -- his shin close to the | :38:23. | :38:33. | |
water. You just need to get the oxygen in at this stage. The last | :38:34. | :38:39. | |
five metres, the last three strokes, heads down. Can't believe it! Well | :38:40. | :38:42. | |
done. What a difficult time he's had. Both of his parents had cancer, | :38:43. | :38:51. | |
both in remission, I'm delighted to say. The silver-medallist, Laszlo | :38:52. | :38:58. | |
Cseh. But a quite brilliant World Championship title. He won it in | :38:59. | :39:08. | |
2013, silver in 2015 to Laszlo Cseh. An emotional Chad Le Clos. Gold to | :39:09. | :39:15. | |
Chad Le Clos of South Africa in the men's 200 fly. | :39:16. | :39:23. | |
And the crowd has erupted for the legend that is Laszlo Cseh, because | :39:24. | :39:31. | |
he is talking to the crowd down by the pool. We thought he was going to | :39:32. | :39:35. | |
do it, we bought the place would erupt, but Chad had too much for | :39:36. | :39:39. | |
him. It shows how much respect they have for each other. Chad went over | :39:40. | :39:45. | |
to Laszlo and stuck his arm in the air, because rightly so. There has | :39:46. | :39:47. | |
always been a big battle between them and it was so close. At Chad | :39:48. | :39:52. | |
always wins the same way. He looks around in the last 50 metres. He | :39:53. | :39:58. | |
couldn't believe it himself, to be fair. The time he beat Michael | :39:59. | :40:03. | |
Phelps, Michael Phelps was the hair and nobody thought he was coming | :40:04. | :40:07. | |
back to him, and Chad came back to him. Now he swims like Michael | :40:08. | :40:10. | |
Phelps. Down the last 25 metres, you could see Laszlo Cseh in the yellow | :40:11. | :40:17. | |
was getting closer and closer. Another two metres, another stroke, | :40:18. | :40:20. | |
I think he might have got him. You've got to give it to Chad. You | :40:21. | :40:23. | |
could say it was timed to perfection. The boys say, why does | :40:24. | :40:28. | |
he go out so fast? That is his way of racing and his rhythm. I don't | :40:29. | :40:31. | |
think you can shorten it will slow it down. Laszlo Cseh might be the | :40:32. | :40:39. | |
guy that the Hungarians are talking about, but in Britain everybody's | :40:40. | :40:43. | |
talking about Adam Peaty, ripping up the history books and making it look | :40:44. | :40:44. | |
easy. As you can see, Stephen Parry joins | :40:45. | :41:19. | |
us in the studio. Don't look nervous! I didn't think that Chad Le | :41:20. | :41:24. | |
Clos was going to win that, but now I'm looking forward Adam Peaty, so | :41:25. | :41:30. | |
that's all right. Well rehearsed in the logistics of telly already! | :41:31. | :41:34. | |
Making your debut, are you having fun? Not as much as you guys! You | :41:35. | :41:39. | |
have a ball! Let's talk about Adam Peaty. In the ten years you have | :41:40. | :41:43. | |
been commentating, where does this rank in terms of special minutes? | :41:44. | :41:48. | |
There are many elections in sport, and it can come from people who do | :41:49. | :41:53. | |
things repeatedly. -- many legends. If you think of the likes of Janet | :41:54. | :41:56. | |
Evans, she transported these thoughtful about a couple of | :41:57. | :42:02. | |
decades, but that will be the measure of Adam Peaty. How long can | :42:03. | :42:05. | |
he do it for? He is definitely world-class but I don't know if he | :42:06. | :42:09. | |
is legendary yet. He is definitely legend in the gym, he pushes, the | :42:10. | :42:14. | |
way he sits and does press ups with people on his back. This is | :42:15. | :42:19. | |
something that people can relate to. How brutal is his training regime? | :42:20. | :42:24. | |
He is a beast. You look for every inch and margin in the pool and you | :42:25. | :42:30. | |
want to get as strong as possible he has arms the size of Steve's legs, I | :42:31. | :42:37. | |
must admit. I do loads of press ups! Underlay few for you later. -- I'll | :42:38. | :42:44. | |
do a few for you. Earlier, you were being competitive about it. Let's | :42:45. | :42:49. | |
put a four-month-old child on our backs anyway! I don't want to cause | :42:50. | :42:56. | |
any Intel swimmer fights. What about breaststroke? I think this is part | :42:57. | :43:01. | |
of the region the nation can buy into what he's doing. They know what | :43:02. | :43:04. | |
it's like to swim like that. We have a history of breaststroke, and now | :43:05. | :43:12. | |
we've had many world and Olympic champions, and I think, when you've | :43:13. | :43:16. | |
got history in a sport, people have role models and they want to get | :43:17. | :43:20. | |
into that stroke for those reasons. The main thing he's doing an | :43:21. | :43:24. | |
breaststroke is he's changing the struggled there used to be places | :43:25. | :43:28. | |
where a guy could slow down. -- changing the stroke. This guy keeps | :43:29. | :43:32. | |
going, because of his athleticism. He can keep turning back stroke | :43:33. | :43:37. | |
over. If you watch some slow Mo of him and you get some underwater | :43:38. | :43:48. | |
's... Everybody else is doing a squat motion. When you get through a | :43:49. | :43:51. | |
tube, the more streamlined you are, the less resistance you create. A | :43:52. | :43:57. | |
lot of people associate breaststroke with being slow, and Adam has | :43:58. | :44:00. | |
changed that, because it is pure speed and power and it isn't boring | :44:01. | :44:06. | |
to watch at all. We are building up to Adam's final. Who knows what he's | :44:07. | :44:10. | |
going to do? Here's what he did in the semifinal last night. Great | :44:11. | :44:19. | |
Britain world record-holder, second semifinal of the men's 50 | :44:20. | :44:24. | |
breaststroke. Adam Peaty in the centre in four. That's a very good | :44:25. | :44:31. | |
start from Kirill Prigoda in three. But now Senedd Adam Peaty goes, and | :44:32. | :44:39. | |
looking very strong. -- Peaty. Adam Peaty starting to go ahead. Starting | :44:40. | :44:44. | |
to streak ahead. This is a 50 metres breaststroke, and look at this. | :44:45. | :44:53. | |
25.95! 25.95!! There goes project 25. Oh, my goodness me! I never | :44:54. | :45:00. | |
thought I'd live to see the day when a breaststroke swimmer would go 25 | :45:01. | :45:04. | |
seconds to 50 minutes breaststroke. That is phenomenal. | :45:05. | :45:12. | |
What a special moment that was. You, Steve, did, what did you do then? I | :45:13. | :45:22. | |
might have let out a little yelp. I was like | :45:23. | :45:24. | |
What a special moment that was. You, Steve, did, what did you do then? I | :45:25. | :45:28. | |
might have let out a little yelp. I was like my five-year-old daughter, | :45:29. | :45:31. | |
I was like "Oh, look at that." That is a butterfly time. Butterfly | :45:32. | :45:33. | |
swimmers will struggle toll go that time. It is phenomenal. | :45:34. | :45:35. | |
It is absolutely fine for you to squeal. Get yourself excited. It is | :45:36. | :45:40. | |
really something special to watch. Budapest is a city that is full of | :45:41. | :45:44. | |
history. Do you think though, that Adam Peaty will break the world | :45:45. | :45:51. | |
record tonight? Yes. 25.9 is very quick but if anyone can do it he | :45:52. | :45:54. | |
can. In this environment, it is going to get tight in the final and | :45:55. | :46:00. | |
things can get snatchy, but, if he starts off, what do you think? Every | :46:01. | :46:05. | |
time he gets in the water I think he is going to break the world record. | :46:06. | :46:09. | |
I want him to get the gold. If he gets the record as well, that will | :46:10. | :46:15. | |
be great. Budapest is a city full of history and Adam Peaty is certainly | :46:16. | :46:20. | |
dominating. It sounds like the Italian national is playing out for | :46:21. | :46:23. | |
him. It is for Federica Pellegrini who won the 200 free earlier. You | :46:24. | :46:28. | |
love this anthem. We can enjoy you talking about Adam Peaty and how he | :46:29. | :46:30. | |
is very much the future. The beautiful city of Budapest has | :46:31. | :46:57. | |
been shaken by a roar. The Navy of the Roman Empire used | :46:58. | :47:02. | |
the river to dominate for years. Domination on the water? He's got | :47:03. | :47:08. | |
this. Through sheer power, the river | :47:09. | :47:13. | |
carves its own path. When you see no limit, imagination | :47:14. | :47:18. | |
is your only barrier. Going where no-one has gone before. | :47:19. | :47:27. | |
That is phenomenal! Deep breath. Dive in. Destroy. | :47:28. | :47:42. | |
Becky you you know Adam, and his coach. What do you think he will do | :47:43. | :47:48. | |
tonight? Just as Steve said, every time I dives in, non-knows but you | :47:49. | :47:52. | |
have to expect something magical, something incredible is about to | :47:53. | :47:55. | |
happen so you need to make sure you are not going to put the kettle on! | :47:56. | :48:00. | |
I think the thing is they is have such a unique partnership. I can | :48:01. | :48:04. | |
remember meeting a Adam after London and he was a little twig of a man. | :48:05. | :48:09. | |
Now he has just changed phenomenally and mentally, just as much as | :48:10. | :48:14. | |
physically, he is so unique and so special, and it, you can't compare | :48:15. | :48:18. | |
anyone to him. He is a very unique, we say it too much. There is nothing | :48:19. | :48:25. | |
enough adjectives to describe him. We have seen his rivals change their | :48:26. | :48:29. | |
programme, is that going to trouble him? No. I think this evening when | :48:30. | :48:34. | |
you are that far ahead of everyone else, half a second going into a | :48:35. | :48:38. | |
final. If you look at his times there, he dominates. 25.9 to | :48:39. | :48:45. | |
Cameron's 26.5. Cameron at his best, over 50 metres, that is a world. So | :48:46. | :48:49. | |
it will be, he should stand on that block and we know he is extremely | :48:50. | :48:54. | |
confident any way, it is going to be his medal. It is what time Health | :48:55. | :48:59. | |
Secretary he goes. If I stood on the block knowing I was 0. 6 faster, he | :49:00. | :49:03. | |
will not have a worry. You are excited about what you are going to | :49:04. | :49:09. | |
do. He is just thinking about times, we joked about project 25. That | :49:10. | :49:12. | |
wasn't even on the agenda coming here. Sometimes that is when it | :49:13. | :49:17. | |
happen, and the thing is, it isn't an Olympic event so last year when | :49:18. | :49:23. | |
he has tapered, swimmers don't rest a lot. It is twice a year at the | :49:24. | :49:27. | |
most, so he didn't race it particularly much last year with it | :49:28. | :49:32. | |
being a non-Olympic event. He has had a shine this year, I spoke to | :49:33. | :49:36. | |
MLA before the competition started and she said the a 50 will be | :49:37. | :49:40. | |
special. They knew that the 50, he was going to do something incredible | :49:41. | :49:43. | |
and he has. There has been a lot made of his start. What should | :49:44. | :49:48. | |
people look out for? Mel spoke about the start. She gets plus traited | :49:49. | :49:53. | |
that people keep talking about it, he does abide by the rule, he does | :49:54. | :49:57. | |
do the one kick, they have worked so much on that, if you look at his | :49:58. | :50:01. | |
start, from Kazan if you played the replay of his start in Kazan, he has | :50:02. | :50:06. | |
changed so much and improved so much. The beauty is he can get | :50:07. | :50:10. | |
better, that means he will get faster. The other guys have great | :50:11. | :50:14. | |
starts and he has a good start but he can get great. Normally when Pete | :50:15. | :50:18. | |
poet is in the pool we say let's get ready to rumble but Steve is in the | :50:19. | :50:26. | |
xhep trixxxx commentary box so we'll say get ready to squeal. Over to you | :50:27. | :50:32. | |
guys. A little harsh Helen, but maybe fair! The final of the men's | :50:33. | :50:37. | |
50 metres breaststroke. Adam Peaty as expected will go in lane four as | :50:38. | :50:44. | |
the fastest qualifier, set a massive world record in the semifinal. Next | :50:45. | :50:49. | |
to him Cameron Van Der Burgh. He is in three. | :50:50. | :50:56. | |
Lima in five. It is hard to see past Adam Peaty though. There is Kevin | :50:57. | :51:01. | |
Cordes, the Silver Medal in the 100 metres breaststroke. This really all | :51:02. | :51:06. | |
about Adam Peaty and its man against the clock. It is. There is Prigoda, | :51:07. | :51:12. | |
the Russian, he got a bronze in the 100 butterfly. I can't see him | :51:13. | :51:19. | |
troubling Adam Peaty. There was a world records tumbling. There has | :51:20. | :51:24. | |
been an African record from this man Cameron Van Der Burgh. A south | :51:25. | :51:29. | |
American record. They are trying to keep pace with Peaty but they can't | :51:30. | :51:35. | |
make it happen. It is going to by a amazing to see if he can break the | :51:36. | :51:40. | |
world record again. He has to be quick off blocks and he has to make | :51:41. | :51:45. | |
sure he gets up and into that phenomenal stroke as quickly as he | :51:46. | :51:51. | |
can. No-one has defended this title. | :51:52. | :52:00. | |
The double-double is on for Adam Peaty. He has won the 100 here. He | :52:01. | :52:07. | |
has set two world record on this 50. I can't see anyone getting anywhere | :52:08. | :52:13. | |
near him. There is Lima of Brazil. That is | :52:14. | :52:22. | |
Gomes of Brazil in lane seven. There is Adam Peaty. | :52:23. | :52:28. | |
Absolutely phenomenal. The reaction testify world round us | :52:29. | :52:33. | |
when he won that semifinal, there wasn't any yelping it was simply | :52:34. | :52:38. | |
shaking of heads, unbelievable, 25.9. | :52:39. | :52:43. | |
Watch the start, if he can be level at the start, every chance of a | :52:44. | :52:46. | |
world record. The final of the men's 50 metres | :52:47. | :53:00. | |
breaststroke. Adam Peaty in four. A good solid reaction to the gun in | :53:01. | :53:03. | |
the centre and a good start for Adam Peaty. This is great new, if he gets | :53:04. | :53:09. | |
a good start, that what got him the world record world record. He is | :53:10. | :53:13. | |
starting to go. This is amazing. Brilliant breaststroke womening. In | :53:14. | :53:17. | |
the centre in the black hat. He is making the rest of the world reset | :53:18. | :53:20. | |
their dreams because they are no longer quick enough. The time 25.99, | :53:21. | :53:25. | |
just outside of his own world record and the rest of the world starting | :53:26. | :53:30. | |
to come with him. They really tried but no-one got within half a second | :53:31. | :53:35. | |
of Great Britain's Adam Peaty. He won gold on under -- on the 50 and | :53:36. | :53:40. | |
now he has done the double-double. Gracious heavens. Gold on the 100, | :53:41. | :53:48. | |
gold on the 50. Brilliant swimming. He has done it again, looked | :53:49. | :53:51. | |
fantastic over those last ten metres and it was really only the last five | :53:52. | :53:57. | |
metres that he put some distance between himself and Gomes Junior, | :53:58. | :54:00. | |
the Brazilian swam really well there. That is the second fastest | :54:01. | :54:06. | |
time there has ever been swum apart from anyone else but Adam Peaty. He | :54:07. | :54:12. | |
is so strong. This guy is just so unbelievably athletic. 15 metre he | :54:13. | :54:17. | |
was still the slowest person. That is really exciting. He is going 25 | :54:18. | :54:22. | |
seconds, with improvements that can be made. Well, all in a line there, | :54:23. | :54:29. | |
but it is phenomenal. He gets to about 25, 30 metres and it is almost | :54:30. | :54:34. | |
like he just adds in that extra motor, on the left-hand side you can | :54:35. | :54:41. | |
see the 31-year-old Gomes, phenomenal, setting a lifetime best | :54:42. | :54:45. | |
that the age. Look at this. Peaty still only 22. He has won Olympic | :54:46. | :54:51. | |
Gold, world gold. Commonwealth gold. He has won European gold and he is | :54:52. | :54:56. | |
back on it again. Round for a second helping. Quite brilliant. | :54:57. | :55:07. | |
The guy is phenomenal. Adam Peaty adds gold in the 50 beck stroke to | :55:08. | :55:14. | |
the gold he won on the 100. Gomes the silver. Van Der Burgh the | :55:15. | :55:20. | |
bronze. Two world titles in one week, congratulations to Adam Peaty | :55:21. | :55:24. | |
but it is like, he didn't get a world record. We are come on. He has | :55:25. | :55:31. | |
spoilt us too much. ? If you had to Adam you will go under 26 twice, he | :55:32. | :55:36. | |
would go no. You can tell he is happy. He looked surprise when he | :55:37. | :55:40. | |
did it in the semifinal, so, phenomenal week for him. We were | :55:41. | :55:43. | |
hoping to hear from him but he has the relay later on, so we will | :55:44. | :55:47. | |
hopefully catch up with him after that. The team look very proud. All | :55:48. | :55:51. | |
of the British swimmers are up behind us. Let us look at his race | :55:52. | :55:56. | |
one more time, because as we have said it is really is something | :55:57. | :56:00. | |
special. There is not enough words to | :56:01. | :56:04. | |
describe what he does, and how good he is S he had a good start. The guy | :56:05. | :56:09. | |
down in lane 8 had an immense start but he was never in the race after | :56:10. | :56:13. | |
that point. Adam got away with him. He didn't give away a lot. You see | :56:14. | :56:19. | |
25 metres he starts slowly moving away, and another as Becky said, | :56:20. | :56:26. | |
under 26 seconds. It is still an immense swim, so I think the finish | :56:27. | :56:34. | |
was great. He spotted them all well. For Adam he is openly talked about | :56:35. | :56:38. | |
how he gets up for races and how much he gives and how much he takes | :56:39. | :56:43. | |
the nerves each time. Tonight it will be in his mind he has to step | :56:44. | :56:48. | |
up. He will want to put in a good performance for the relay later, so | :56:49. | :56:52. | |
as well he has come into this, he has broke a world record twice. He | :56:53. | :56:56. | |
has the gold medal. He ain't done bad. He ain't done bad. Huge | :56:57. | :57:01. | |
congratulations to Adam Peaty and of course Mel Marshall. Next up with | :57:02. | :57:05. | |
have the women's 200 fly semifinals and in the second semifinal, we have | :57:06. | :57:09. | |
Great Britain's Alys Thomas. It will be loud. She goes against the | :57:10. | :57:19. | |
Hungarian. Take us through this. I had a few niggling injuries last | :57:20. | :57:23. | |
year, I knew, full training would get me where I needed to be this | :57:24. | :57:27. | |
year, and competeling on a world class stage with these guys who are | :57:28. | :57:31. | |
world class, it is a massive achievement. I can do what they are | :57:32. | :57:35. | |
doing and I am doing what they are doing. It has been about improving | :57:36. | :57:39. | |
the little things and the little things make a massive difference, | :57:40. | :57:43. | |
and hopefully then, that will take off a bit more of my time. I would | :57:44. | :57:49. | |
like to say I can back up the times with a PB. That is what I would like | :57:50. | :57:50. | |
to do. Zhang and Zhou of China. They are | :57:51. | :58:10. | |
fastest two after heats this morning. | :58:11. | :58:15. | |
Zhang in four. The World Championship bronze medal list years | :58:16. | :58:20. | |
ago. This is an interesting race, this 200 metres butterfly. Like the | :58:21. | :58:25. | |
men's it is difficult to call. The world record set eight years ago, | :58:26. | :58:32. | |
back in Rome. Known is near that. This is your race, the 200 fly. How | :58:33. | :58:40. | |
is it going to unfold this, in this first or second. That 2.01. That is | :58:41. | :58:45. | |
phenomenal. That will stand for many more years | :58:46. | :58:50. | |
I should imagine. The Crown often goes to brave. Those who are | :58:51. | :58:54. | |
prepared to take it out. We saw Chad Le Clos there, he was committed and | :58:55. | :58:58. | |
managed to hold on, win that title. You need a bit on this event. It can | :58:59. | :59:07. | |
work against you. An there leading in lane three. A | :59:08. | :59:11. | |
few seconds off that world record pace but thaw is phenomenal. | :59:12. | :59:16. | |
There is very little to choose between the six coming down this | :59:17. | :59:22. | |
first 125. This the first of the two semifinals. Alys Thomas goes in the | :59:23. | :59:25. | |
second. She actually has a pretty good opportunity to make the final, | :59:26. | :59:32. | |
because her lifetime best of 2.078 could be good enough. If she can | :59:33. | :59:40. | |
stick in a PB o2:07.4 she could do it. | :59:41. | :59:48. | |
Look out for Makino as well. The Japanese, on the right hand side of | :59:49. | :59:52. | |
the screen. She is the third ranked swimmer in the world. We expect the | :59:53. | :59:56. | |
Japanese and Chinese to finish fast. Get themselves a top spot for that | :59:57. | :00:03. | |
final tomorrow. So four, five and six are the | :00:04. | :00:06. | |
fastest in theory. At the moment it looks like it will be five. Zhou of | :00:07. | :00:15. | |
China. This is exciting for Alys Thomas. If she can get close to her | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
lifetime best she has a super chance of making the final. | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
Is winning it in lane five, Zhou China. Hasegawa second. Well, that | :00:28. | :00:40. | |
is right on Aled Thomas's best time, so she's got a chance. I'm getting | :00:41. | :00:49. | |
excited for the city of Swansea swimmer. She needs to give herself a | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
chance. Beautiful streamlining an entry from the Chinese swimmer. It's | :00:55. | :01:03. | |
often hard, when you are swimming against your country person, | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
somebody you swim against so much, I always found that the World | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
Championships that I wanted to be against the international swimmers | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
rather than the team-mates. Absolutely, yes. Well, Yufei Zhang | :01:16. | :01:26. | |
in four ended up in third and Zhou in five. | :01:27. | :01:34. | |
The second semifinal sees Alice Thomas of Great Britain in one, but | :01:35. | :01:46. | |
look at this, Katinka Hosszu, Franziska Hentke, a big second semi. | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
Very good experience for Alice Thomas, and it must be wonderful to | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
come into a race like this and have two Hungarians, and will hear the | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
noise for those two. There is Aled Thomas. It's going to be interesting | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
to see their reaction when the Hungarians are introduced. -- Alice | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
Thomas. She looks very focused. She is the British champion on the 100. | :02:11. | :02:21. | |
We have the Australian, Brianna Throssell, 21. She made the final at | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
the Olympics. There are some very good swimmers. Stefania Pirozzi of | :02:27. | :02:35. | |
Italy in lane two, right next to Alys, but then the big guns. | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
Franziska Hentke of Germany, the fastest in the world this year, but | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
it's a tight world ranking. Liliana Szilagyi, the second Hungarian, in | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
three. The third fastest qualifier for this semifinal. And Mireya | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
Belmont, an Olympic champion in this 200 metres butterfly, but she swam a | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
good 1500 last night. I think she'll take a lot of confidence from that | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
race. She got a silver. What a reception for Katinka Hosszu! She | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
really is a hero for the whole of Hungary. A packed crowd here tonight | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
to watch her. 28 and still doing it. She's won seven gold medals at the | :03:22. | :03:31. | |
world chalk calls earlier this year. Reaction to her gold in the 200 | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
metres medley was something special. It's so hard to hear yourself think, | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
never mind talk. Belmont, the olive champion. The fastest in the world, | :03:42. | :03:50. | |
Franziska Hentke. The Germans have a really poor meet so far. This must | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
be Germany's best chance of a medal. That will be tomorrow in the final, | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
presuming she makes it through. Franziska Hentke of Germany in six. | :04:02. | :04:15. | |
Belmonte in five. One lane up from her, the fastest qualifier, Katinka | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
Hosszu in four. Great Britain Frost Aled Thomas goes | :04:18. | :04:35. | |
in -- Great Britain's Alys Thomas. Thomas at the top for Great Britain. | :04:36. | :04:44. | |
Right in the centre, the Olympic champion, with the pink suit. Never | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
particularly goes out quicker than the first 50. Belmonte had a right | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
ding-dong in the middle of the pool at the Olympics. Perfect tactics to | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
come home and to win the gold. She is grabbing this race by the scruff | :04:59. | :05:06. | |
of the neck. Hosszu on her shoulder. I'm excited by Alys Thomas in lane | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
one. She's got a personal best of 2.0 seven. If she does that, every | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
chance of making the final. She's going well at the moment. She had a | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
decent second half in the heats this morning. Leading at the halfway turn | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
in this second semifinal of the women's 200 fly. It's actually | :05:28. | :05:35. | |
Hentke. By two one hundredths of a second. The fastest in the world. | :05:36. | :05:43. | |
She is breathing to her left. Why would you do that on fly? A bit | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
shallower over the water, rather than going up and down. I'm excited | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
for Alys Thomas at the top. She's looking good. She really needs to | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
dig deep over the last 50 to make this final. Franziska Hentke, number | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
one in the world, she's got to prove it now over this last length. The | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
Olympic champion in the centre of the lane, in the pink, she says no, | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
she's not going to make it easy on the German. Come on, Alys Thomas, in | :06:14. | :06:22. | |
lane one. If Alys can bring it back down this last 20, she has a chance | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
for the final. She's got to move it along though. Coming back is | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
Belmonte. It looks like it's going to be Franziska Hentke. Times are | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
pretty quick, which is good news for Alys. I'm not sure if she's going to | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
make the final. Eight at swim, that was, that last 50. She hung on very | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
well. -- a tough swim. Alys finishing sixth. That may be a | :06:47. | :07:01. | |
position or to a bit to locals that a good swim, though. Great | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
experience for her. -- that may be a position or two too low. I wonder if | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
that every programme has taken a toll. She won't like coming forth in | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
front of her home crowd. But a tough event to back-up. You don't want to | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
be getting in and out of the water, getting around the walls, making | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
sure you're not using speed. There is that sideways breath. You can see | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
what she had for breakfast! Great catch at the front, though, using | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
full use of the stroke. Great timing from the German. Great finish, hands | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
on the wall. Where is Belmonte jams it. Finishing second, oh! You can | :07:46. | :07:55. | |
judge her stroke, about ten metres out, you can change to make sure | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
that you finish with a full arm. Don't worry too much, message to the | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
husband. That was Katinka Hosszu, coming third. Franziska Hentke wins | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
it. The first four places will make it | :08:07. | :08:15. | |
through. I'm not sure if Alys is going to. I think she'll be a couple | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
of places outside the final, but good experience for her. | :08:21. | :08:30. | |
I think Great Britain's Alys Thomas finished 13th, just outside her | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
best, but very good experience. A shame for Alys Thomas. The guys | :08:38. | :08:47. | |
were saying it's good experience. What will she take away? Both on the | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
100 and tonight, she hasn't reached her personal best. It's her debut, a | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
daunting new experience, and hopefully she'll learn and move | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
forward. She probably wanted to come into this meet and at least get some | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
personal best times, so she will be slightly disappointed, but it's good | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
to be disappointed. It drives you and makes you more determined next | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
season to get back in, to train harder and work harder. What do you | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
make of Katinka Hosszu? What do you make of her swim? I said this | :09:18. | :09:27. | |
earlier on the 200 free, as in, why swim that? We knew she wouldn't | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
stand a chance of winning a medal but she had a chance of winning that | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
race. It's one of those things where she wants to challenge and push | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
herself, and she swims a lot of events. We had a discussion about | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
the fact that Pellegrini and heard and get on well. I think she was | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
trying to make the point that she could beat her, and it didn't work. | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
The 200 fly after 200 free, with 200 metres, it wouldn't hurt. She knew | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
it was just the semifinal, not the final, so she knows she can come | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
back tomorrow night. She wants to push the boundaries so she can work | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
out for the next Olympic season what she's going to race. She's good at | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
so many events. It could have backfired if she was really | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
knackered. Then she wouldn't have liked this lockdown! Her husband is | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
quite aggressive. -- she wouldn't have let this lockdown. Still to | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
come, we got record-breaking Max Litchfield. -- Max Litchfield. He | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
broke the Commonwealth and British record this morning, so he is in | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
fine form. At 6pm, you need to press the red button for the men's | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
50-metre rest stroke medal ceremony. And we have Adam Peaty on top of the | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
podium in that. He won gold. Two events which have just been added to | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
the Olympics, the men's 800 metres freestyle is set 6:05pm, and then | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
the mixed medley relay, featuring Great Britain, Georgia Davies, Adam | :11:00. | :11:08. | |
Peaty, Siobhan-Marie O'Connor. As you can hear, this place is going | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
crazy and it's fair to say that Hungary have certainly put on a | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
spectacle. They are cheering for Laszlo Cseh, the legend that is Mr | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
Cseh, standing up for his silver medal in the men's 200 metres | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
butterfly. That event was won by Chad Le Clos. Let's talk about Adam | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
Peaty, who took the title in the 100th. If you joined us, you've | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
missed him taking the title. -- if you just joined us. | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
Adam Peaty of Great Britain in lame four. -- lane four. A good, solid | :11:41. | :11:52. | |
reaction to the gun in the centre, and a good start for Adam Peaty. | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
This is great news. If you can get a good start in the semifinal, that's | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
what we got him his world record. This is amazing, brilliant | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
breaststroke swimming. Peaty in the centre in a black hat. He's making | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
the rest of the world reset their dreams, because those dreams are no | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
longer quick enough. The time, just outside his world record, and the | :12:16. | :12:17. | |
rest of the world starting to come with him. They really tried, but | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
nobody got within half a second of Great Britain's Adam Peaty. He won | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
gold on the 50, and done the double double. | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
You join us as the national anthem is playing in the background for | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
Chad Le Clos, because he took gold in the men's 200 metres butterfly. A | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
bit later, we're going to sing our own national anthem for Adam Peaty. | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
Chad Le Clos very emotional. He is a man who wears his heart on its | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
sleeve, and it was wonderful to see in congratulating Laszlo Cseh | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
earlier as he took that title. A brilliant race, a brilliant | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
spectacle for us in the Danube Arena. Sharon Davies... Hello! | :13:01. | :13:09. | |
Welcome. It's crazy in here. The atmosphere is insane. Talk us | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
through the atmosphere poolside, when Adam Peaty is prowling round, | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
the Aussie is a force to be reckoned with. Detoxed himself a lot. -- | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
because he is a force. He talks to himself a lot. He is an absolute | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
gentleman. He has won the 50 breaststroke but he can't stop | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
because he's got the 50 medley relay, and he apologised as he | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
walked past. He was like, sorry! I was like, go and get a break! We | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
need you! He finds time to speak to everybody. The Swedes next door say | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
he is such a lovely, articulate young man. He has a really good | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
reputation. Talking of lovely, articulate men with a good | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
reputation, Chad Le Clos is one of them as well, isn't he? Winger he | :13:57. | :14:07. | |
is. There is that Birt as well. He got very emotional in a interview | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
talking about that race. It brings you into perspective when you have | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
two parents diagnosed with cancer, now in remission and goodness, but | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
last year it looked like he was going to lose both of -- it looked | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
like he was going to lose both of them. He also apologised! | :14:23. | :14:29. | |
It must be so nice for you guys for the world to see characters in any | :14:30. | :14:36. | |
doubt of the Will -- in and out of the pool. Absolutely, these people | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
have big personalities, which is what we want to get out, television, | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
because we want to sell our sport. It's an amazing, life-saving sport. | :14:45. | :14:46. | |
It's important that children can swim. Rebecca is having a swim | :14:47. | :14:54. | |
school. At the moment, we are not doing enough. There is the | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
competitive side but also the recreational and fitness site and | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
the life-saving skill that swimming is. We know Adam with a lot of | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
effort and energy into encouraging youngsters to swim. So many people | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
have said, my kids swam with Adam and they love him. What about his | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
team-mates? What do they say about him? | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
His confidence is, it rubs off on everybody. What is lovely for us is | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
he starts at the begins so he sets the tone. I have been 11 Olympic | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
Games now and I can tell you what happens early on in the programme | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
has a very big effect on the team. When they believe in their | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
preparation, or they start to have a few doubt, when he goes in and swims | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
this way they believe in themselves. The nice thing is he is so humble. | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
Like you speak to his team-mate, we spoke to James Guy, they don't | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
idolise him, they don't think he is super human, they think if he can do | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
it why can't I? He doesn't walk round he is better than anyone else. | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
He doesn't have the arrogance, what is goening on behind me? ! What is | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
this I thought it was Chad at first. I can't see him. It is an | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
interesting thing. When you first make a team, I remember making a | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
team at 15 and seeing Sharon and Adie Moorhouse, you think they are | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
super human and you are not like them. You train with hem and eat | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
with them and you go, hang on their are human, I have the opportunity | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
they have and you sort of, it inspires you. We are seeing an | :16:26. | :16:35. | |
example the crowd is going crazy for Laszlo Cseh and Chad Le Clos. We | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
talk about Adam and he is cheeky. James Guy sent us a load of fun | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
videos of what Adam gets away from training. We can't show them on | :16:44. | :16:50. | |
television, they probably show very much of Adam. He is hard-working, we | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
can't share them with you, it is prewatershed! Let us talk about | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
another hard-working young man. Max Litchfield. We will see him in the | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
individual medley shortly, he has been talking to Nico. | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
Going into Rio my target was to just go there, having fun and hopefully | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
do something amazing. I think I did that. Obviously missing the medals | :17:20. | :17:26. | |
is annoying but at the end of day I went out, two PB, first Olympic | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
Games. I can't complain. What would it mean if you were to go out and | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
get a medal and put your name out there again? It would be fantastic. | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
But I am looking to put in the processes that I am going to do in | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
Tokyo and if that happens, to give me a medal shot, in Budapest, then | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
that is fantastic, but, if I can go into Budapest an put a good time in | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
and do things that I want to do right, then, I will be happy with | :17:55. | :17:56. | |
that. Well Max Litchfield goes in the | :17:57. | :18:13. | |
second heat. Let us see what he can do this evening. | :18:14. | :18:25. | |
Max in the second semifinal. Here, the first semifinal, Chase Kalisz | :18:26. | :18:37. | |
the fastest qualifier. So Kalisz in four. Seto in five. Here he is. What | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
a double this, Steve. 200 fly, bronze medal and he has to come out | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
of that and do a 200 medley. It has to have taken a bit out of him. I | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
will be surprised if he can get through to final tomorrow, this | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
fellow, Chase Kalisz, nice dab there. Good dabbing in the audience. | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
Chase Kalisz, America have had a rich history in this event. The last | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
four have been won by Ryan Lochte, you have to go all the way back to | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
2001, to find anyone other than those two, that have won this event. | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
Kalisz feels that weight of expectation, he said I do not want | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
to relinquish this title to anyone else. It is a Changing of the Guard | :19:26. | :19:32. | |
because Lochte and Phelps are not here. Lochte may come back. We will | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
see if he imagines to come back after the one year ban he served | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
after Rio. But this the first semifinal of the men's 200 medley. | :19:42. | :19:52. | |
Chase Kalisz silver medallist. The bronze medallist is in five. A new | :19:53. | :20:00. | |
bronze medallist on the 200 fly, Seto of Japan. Gracious. What a | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
tough double this is. 200 fly. 200 medley. Let us see how Seto does. We | :20:06. | :20:21. | |
know he is all right at that bit, but Lewis looks good down the 50. | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
The young Chinese, 18 years of age, he looks like he could be winning | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
this first 50, Qin going into the backstroke. Good underwater skills | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
from him. Look at Kalisz's underwater, that was phenomenal. He | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
wept into the turn about half a metre down and came up about half a | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
metre up, and, that is just simply underwater skills, very very good | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
indeed. Chase Kalisz of the USA, World Championship bronze medallist | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
two years ago. He is a 400 specialist. This maybe a sprint for | :20:56. | :21:04. | |
him. Chase Kalisz, it is Seto Steve. It is Seto leading and Kalisz at the | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
moment... Decent breaststroke. I can't believe Seto is doing this. He | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
has done the 200 metres butterfly. It hasn't affected him. Kalisz | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
getting into it. Silver medallist on the 400 at the Olympic Games. I do | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
take my hat off to Seto here, an amazing double. Looks like he has | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
done enough to get through to the final tomorrow, the rest is all to | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
play for among the other six. Kalisz great turn. He has 50 to to still. | :21:34. | :21:43. | |
He has done a 200 fly. 50. The first 250 of 200 medley. He is chasing | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
Kalisz now, and Kalisz, league look at this. He is going for it. Let us | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
check on the world record. I don't think that is going to go. That is | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
Lochte's but it is a good swim. What, 55? 1:55.8. Very good for | :21:57. | :22:05. | |
Chase Kalisz. That just outside the fastest time in the world. Second | :22:06. | :22:13. | |
fastest time in the world. 1:55.88. Qin of China third. | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
Third, fourth five not particularly quick with two Brits in that second | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
semifinal. We could have two Brits in the final. That would be great. I | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
got excited about the fact of Max Litchfield here. That wasn't too | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
fast. But Seto, I mean I have to take my hat off to that fella. What | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
an unbelievable double. That guy is tough as old boots, isn't he. He did | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
commit as well. Really strong butterfly and backstroke legs. | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
Kalisz there. Great wall work. Really good streamlining. I would | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
like to see him keep his head a bit still there. Bobbing all over the | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
place. Fascinating tactics from Seto, he | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
has just done a 200 fly, got a bronze medal. Blasts the fly, blasts | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
the backstroke, wheels came off a bit but I suppose you can forgum his | :23:10. | :23:17. | |
if he goe 1:56.9. Very good indeed. Good enough to pull faces at. That | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
is Kalisz. Kalisz wins the first semifinal of | :23:24. | :23:30. | |
the Medially. Seto, a New World junior record for Qin in third. Wow. | :23:31. | :23:41. | |
After those first three, not particularly quick. So two Brits in | :23:42. | :23:51. | |
the second semifinal of the men's 200 medley. Hagino goes in faster. A | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
great opportunity for them to make this final. Well big personal best | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
time for Litchfield this morning. It would be great if he can repeat that | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
tonight. I think he surprised even himself. Bradlee Ashby the | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
21-year-old from New Zealand. He was at the Olympic Games last year. | :24:12. | :24:19. | |
There is Mark Szaranek of Great Britain. He won the American legion | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
yacht national Championships. Not very many Brits have done that | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
Steven parry. One or two this the commentary box have done it Andy. | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
Once. Once Steve. One, well done, 200 fly champion. Couple of months | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
ago, I think it was. I think it was 1997. Who is counting! Vazaios goes | :24:42. | :25:00. | |
in two. We saw Wang Shun. There is another German, we haven't soon too | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
many. This is day four of the World Championships and only seen one in | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
the final and she has only made it through this evening. Swiss in three | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
and then Max Litchfield, the new Commonwealth record holder. Here he | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
is. What a wonderful swim this morning. That bit more of a sprint | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
for him but he took it on so well, and just kept on going. He showed | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
his promise at the Olympic games on that 400, but got a bit of speed now | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
on the 200 here. There he is, Hagino. 4 hundred IM gold medallist | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
from the Olympics last year, Andy, the top four of top five in the | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
world this year go in this second heat, so this could be really really | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
quick. It could. If we can get Szaranek in | :25:49. | :25:58. | |
one, into the mix as well. He is capable of it he will probably have | :25:59. | :26:05. | |
to go, maybe I am guessing a low 158. Anything 157. . Just standing | :26:06. | :26:19. | |
to feet behind you is Max Litchfield's coach. Snuck in to get | :26:20. | :26:27. | |
close to the action. Well done Ross. This could be fantastic. Fantastic: | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
Come on Szaranek, come on Max Litchfield. The fastest in four, | :26:34. | :26:42. | |
Hagino of Japan. Great Britain has Max Litchfield, looking down the | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
pool. Big breath in. Right at the top. Mark Szaranek of Great Britain. | :26:47. | :26:58. | |
Max Litchfield in five. They were held a long type. Decent | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
start right in the centre for Hagino, Litchfield has gone with | :27:04. | :27:09. | |
him. Gone with him very well. Now, Litchfield's very much fastest | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
element of the Medially is the second half, he has to get through | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
this fly. Try and hang on the Hagino and started going. Going well up at | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
the top is Szaranek of Great Britain as well. Look at that. Hagino, off | :27:22. | :27:29. | |
in 4 of a second. Sensational underwater work was well. Max | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
Litchfield, he has competed initially on the backstroke leg, we | :27:34. | :27:36. | |
can expect him to be strong here, work his way back on the the | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
shoulders. Szaranek on the right-hand side, top of your screen | :27:41. | :27:42. | |
there. Trying to work his way back in, | :27:43. | :27:47. | |
Andy, look at that, this is promising, from Litchfield at the | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
100 marker. So the half way turn and the second semifinal of the men's | :27:53. | :27:57. | |
200 metres individual medley. Hagino has gone off like a shot. I have to | :27:58. | :28:03. | |
say that Max Litchfield in the black cap is going very well indeed. | :28:04. | :28:07. | |
Without Hagino there and world record pace, you have to say he is | :28:08. | :28:11. | |
looking good. He has a great freestyle. He has some work to do. | :28:12. | :28:15. | |
Right at the top still Mark Szaranek of Great Britain. He needs a 1.57. | :28:16. | :28:20. | |
He has some wok do if he is going to make the final. Hagino will be first | :28:21. | :28:24. | |
the turn. Max Litchfield maybe second or third. He is third. Come | :28:25. | :28:35. | |
on Mitch Max Litchfield, hient. He has to finish in the top three or | :28:36. | :28:39. | |
four. Come on Max Litchfield. Let's go to the leg, kick now. | :28:40. | :28:43. | |
He is going well, he is in about second at the moment. Hagino is | :28:44. | :28:48. | |
leading and he will get the touch on this second semifinal. Litchfield | :28:49. | :28:54. | |
looks good. Second or third. Hagino, second is Litchfield. 1:57.607. That | :28:55. | :29:02. | |
is just outside the record he set in the heats this morning. And the live | :29:03. | :29:07. | |
racing and reaction to Adam Peaty's second world title of the week | :29:08. | :29:10. | |
continues on the Red Button now. We will see you there. | :29:11. | :29:12. |
