The main pullbuoy podcast reviewing the 2017 British Championships and world championship trials is already out but there were some extra bits that we didn’t have time for in that edition, so here’s an extra podcast to wrap those up. The 200m butterfly for women produced a surprise result with two swimmers making the consideration time – we tracked down Jemma Lowe to get her views on that event, while we also hear from Duncan Scott who had a great week in Sheffield.
It was a fast and furious week at the British Swimming Championships, with 6 British Records and 29 swimmers selected for the world championships in Budapest. Plenty then to discuss as Bob, Katie and Steve look back over the events in Sheffield, with contributions from Ian Hulme, coach to Jocelyn Ulyett, Sarah Vasey, James Guy and Siobhan-Marie O’Connor.
Trials season is well and truly upon us with teams being picked in Canada, Australia, China and around Europe over the past fortnight. Britain is the next major swimming nation to enter the fray with world championship trials taking place in Sheffield next week. In this short preview podcast, Katie and Steve run the rule over what promises to be some intriguing swimming at Ponds Forge.
As well as the success that GB’s Olympic and Paralympic swimmers have had in 2016, there is another team that has been ruling the waves internationally, and that’s Britain’s transplant swimmers. Team manager Liam Barnett and some of his team-mates join the podcast to discuss their success.
Eight days of competition in the pool came to a close with Britain’s best performance at an Olympics since 1908. Six medal secured, comprising one gold and five silvers, gives Bob, Katie and Steve plenty to ponder in this Rio roundup.
