After a day without a medal, and how often in British history at World Championship can that have been a real disappointment, it was important to get back to medal winning ways, to keep up the momentum already generated this week. And that the British team did in dramatic fashion.
We’re at the halfway stage of the World Championships in Russia and it’s been a phenomenal first four days for Britain. The usual podcast crew of Bob, Katie and Steve are joined by Commonwealth Champion James Goddard to dissect the opening half of the meet.
The second day in Kazan and it’s already shaping up to be a great championship for Britain with 3 medals secured and some further prospects in the bag for tomorrow, notably James Guy in the 200 freestyle, where he set a British record of 1:45.43 for second place overall. But away from the Millfield swimmer here were 4 key points on day 2.
It was a good first day for Britain in Kazan, with probably the outcome towards the high end of expectations. Here are some pointers from the first day’s performance.
