Angharad Evans smashed her second British Record of the week as she crashed through the 1:05 barrier with an exceptional 100m breaststroke swim.

Hers was the highlight but the men’s 4×200 lived up to its billing once again, delivering a race of huge drama to close the meet, with Matt Richards just taking the bragging rights.

All of that went together with some fast racing that saw more names added to the Paris roster. A full GB selection update follows below.

Note this is only our interpretation of how the policies will be applied and final selections need to be confirmed by the relevant selectors in due course.

Britain

Evans’ remarkable swim took the headlines with her 1:04.96, miles under the required standard for Paris.

She was joined by Josh Gammon and Jacob Peters over 50m butterfly, while in the women’s 50 free Eva Okaro and Theodora Taylor made the grade, the latter adding an individual event for Paris.

The same could be said for Luke Greenbank who made the QT in the 200m backstroke but narrowly failed to prevent an 11th British title in a row for Ollie Morgan.

The now customary closing fireworks in the men’s 200 freestyle gave us two Paris qualifiers in Matt Richards and James Guy, while combined with Duncan Scott and Jack McMillan they will make up the relay. It seems quite likely all four may get to swim the individual, while Gabriel Shepherd, hugely impressive 5th in 1:46.39 seems likely to get a relay alternate berth.

England

The England selectors will be left with a bit of work to do now that competition is over in London with 36 athletes, including relay only swimmers, having swum beneath the nomination standards and only 28 spaces available. Of those 28, a maximum of 20 are direct qualification with the cut off falling at 1.45% under the nomination standard., but the selectors could choose to take fewer. Everyone else will definitely need to wait for the outcome of the selector’s deliberations.

Gammon and Peters, despite making the Euros QT are the first two to fall outside that mark, while Luke Greenbank, Darcey Revitt, Kieran Grant Amelie Blocksidge, Harriet Rogers, Jack Skerry, and even James Guy hit nomination standards on the last night but fell foul of the 20 place cut off. Guy of course is already in courtesy of his 400 free, while only Eva Okaro in the 50 free posted a nomination time that made it into the top 20 on the final night.

What it also does is put some odd relay situations in play, such as the men’s 4×200 relay not making it directly, despite being under their nomination standard. It is unfathomable that England will not contest that event and as it happens all four of the likely men to swim it (with a question mark still over whether they will take a discretionary gamble on Tom Dean) are selected via other means anyway. A similar fate befell the women’s medley relay, but in that case the selectors would need to use up two discretionary picks for Gabrielle Idle-Beavers and Betsy Wizard to make up a quartet or perhaps look to use someone already qualified such as Emily Richards on fly and Abbie Wood on breaststroke.

It promises to be an interesting selection when it comes round.

Note: An earlier version of the England tracker contained an error in the number of relay only swimmers – this has been corrected below.

Scotland

Rather like their English counterparts, the Scottish selectors will be left scratching their heads with 28 swimmers making it under the nomination standards against a team size of 25. They aren’t obligated to take the fastest swimmers, that is just one of the criteria, but there are some tough decisions in store.

There were no new individual names added to the discussion on the last night of competition, but the men’s 4×200 and women’s medley relays joined the men’s medley team under their nomination times and as all three are priority teams, so those three quartets will definitely make it. That means the men’s 4×100 fall just the right side of the cut off line, which dropped at -0.2%, while Sean McCann in the 1500 and Josh Mitchell in the 200m breaststroke are the individuals who could miss out. The latter’s ability to provide medley relay cover for Archie Goodburn may play in his favour, but that would of course mean someone else with a nomination time missing out. It’s a tricky place to be for the selectors with such small numbers of swimmers affected.

Note: An earlier version of the Scotland tracker contained an error in the number of relay swimmers for the Men’s 4×200 freestyle relay – this has been corrected below.

Wales

There were no new names added to the Wales team sheet in individual events, but Tyler Melbourne Smith did add himself to the individual 200m freestyle selection and Theodora Taylor set herself up for a mammoth Glasgow programme with her 24.59 50m freestyle blast

With the conclusion of all events it also became clear that Wales had qualified a full house of 8 relays should they choose to select them. With that in mind, if they do, there is a potential team of 7 women and 10 men who could travel to the Games. It remains to be seen if they have scope to take more.
