Angharad Evans smashed her second British Record of the week as she crashed through the 1:05 barrier with an exceptional 100m breaststroke swim. It was the highlight of a fast and furious final night which delivered a number of qualifying swims. Here’s a selection update.
Abbie Wood was the standout performer on the penultimate night of swimming in London as she carved a huge chunk off her 200IM best time to confirm an individual spot for her at the Euros, while the England and Scotland nomination lists continued to swell beyond their maximum team sizes.
After the fireworks in night 3 in London, the fourth night of competition always had the possibility of being a little anti-climactic, but while the record books remained untouched, there were plenty of swims that demanded selection as we move to the business end of the meet.
A stunning brace of British Records from Angharad Evans and Freya Colbert were the standout attractions in London on the third night of competition. Both produced outstanding swims that moved them into the top 10 all time global performers in their events. Unsurprisingly that put the duo on the team for European Championships but there was a lot of selection action beyond them.
It was a day characterised by dominant wins in London, as Amalie Blocksidge, Max Litchfield and Amalie Smith blew away their respective competition to book their places in this summer’s major meets. There was greater drama elsewhere as plenty of swimmers out their hands up for team selections.
