Commonwealth Trials – men’s 50 breastroke final

This race was as exciting as predicted, with Mew and Gibson trading blows for the entire length of the pool. Perhaps surprisingly Mew emerged the winner, timing his finish to perfection to pip Gibson by a mere 5/100 of a second and exact some revenge for the 100m . Adam Whitehead finished third and also nipped under the QT so will hope for a swim in the games.
