CMy talent was hated, my plans didn't catch on, and the “channel” hasn't made a comeback yet. Is it too much to ask the announcer to say it once? The answer is probably yes, so yesterday's overt actions need to be put aside for a more subliminal message.
HHowever, we are not here to implement a “channel”. Rather, today is his last day at the 2024 Aquatics GB Swimming Championships. We've seen plenty of fast swims, including a new national record (or two), and tonight should be no exception.
USinging the benefits of youth, the first event of the night features several teenagers in the fastest heats of the 800m class. Leading the way for British long-distance women is 14-year-old Amelie Brocksidge. 1500m race winner Brocksidge came in in 8:32.65, more than six seconds faster than her nomination standard, but don't count her out. It is impossible for her to achieve the standard, but she had not reached the Olympic consideration time in the 1500 meters, so if she shows her strong swimming here, she could get noticed as an arbitrary nominee. There is.she will be sandwiched between fleur louis and Leah Crisp Tonight, the former was the only one to break into the 8:40 range.
NAlthough he has not yet joined the team, he is hoping to defend his Olympic bronze medal. luke greenbank. Since the Olympics, Green Bank has had its share of ups and downs. Although he won a silver medal at the 2022 World Championships, he was not selected for the 2023 World Championship team and only placed 9th at the Doha Games. But tonight he had the center lane and was over 1.5 seconds faster than everyone else. Already on the team: Oliver Morgan, the new record holder in the 100 back, and he looks to use his early speed to set the pace. Around the two of us, Johnny Marshall and brody williamsand both aim to compete for victory.
NThe women's 100 record holder is in the spotlight as Angharad Evans swam a time of 1:06.27 and is now just 0.08 seconds behind the women's 100 runner. Molly Renshaw's record. Evans has already surpassed the nomination threshold this morning and will be aiming to do it again tonight. Not only can you earn a spot in the individual event, you can also earn a spot in the medley relay. Kara Hanlon, who won the 200m, lined up to Evan's right in lane 5 and was the only other athlete to run under 1:08, but she beat Imogen Clarke, the fastest British woman in the chest 50m. It cannot be ignored.
Eva Okaro He earned the No. 2 seed tonight, putting him in good position to make his first Olympic team. Okaro, a silver medalist in the 50m free, aims to take on the top seed and British record holder. Anna Hopkin.Her nomination criteria may be too far for Okaro, but a spot on the relay would certainly be up for grabs as she looks to fend off candidates such as: freya anderson (I am returning from an attack of glandular fever) Isabella Hindley, abby wood, Lucy Hopeand Freya Colbert.
LImportant, of course, but save the best for last and insert your favorite quote here. At the end of the night, he will compete in the men's 200 free. Over the past few Olympic cycles, this event has been one of the strongest for the country. In Rio, james guy She placed fourth in the individual finals and won a silver medal in the 4×200 relay. For the next match in Tokyo, Gai teamed up with the following players: matt richards And with the help of an individual gold medalist thomas dean and individual silver medalist duncan scott, this quartet reached the top of the podium in the relay. Tonight, the four will aim to repeat that feat, but first they must qualify. Dean enters as the fastest qualifier, followed by Richards, but they face the threat of Guy, who has not yet qualified. jack mcmillianwho is aiming to represent Great Britain on her first Olympic team.

Amelie Brocksidge set another 14-year-old age-group record just two days after her birthday. The Salford City swimmer led from start to finish, opening up a two-and-a-half-minute lead at the 200-second mark, before coming back in 2:05.48. In the 400 meter event, Brocksidge ran 2:06.26. However, she lost that fast speed with a 4:15.00 split in the 400m, compared to her silver-medal time of 4:12.09 in the 400m. She watched alone for much of the race, winning by nearly 4 seconds, beating Fleur Louis by nearly 3 seconds at the halfway point.
Unlike in the 1500, Brocksidge was outside the Olympic consideration time (B cut), so even if he was selected, he would not be able to swim that event. She Brocksidge is most likely to swim at the European Junior Championships, which begin in Vilnius, Lithuania, in July.

The men's 200m back race was a back-and-forth race. Florida Gator freshman Johnny Marshall ran a fast race and came out on top in the 100 with a time of 56.08 seconds.There was something hot right behind him. luke greenbank Oliver Morgan was just behind with scores of 56.39 and 56.89. By turn 150, Greenbank was starting to close the gap, but a strong under-water overtook Marshall. Marshall was passed by three players in the final 25 seconds and began to lose momentum.
It looked like Greenbank would win, but Oliver Morgan slowed 29.26 seconds in the final 50, narrowly passing the 2021 bronze medalist and 0.12 seconds ahead of Greenbank's 1:56.39. He won in 56.27 seconds. Brody Williams also dropped to 50th after sub-30, but his 29.49 score wasn't enough to push Green Bank into second place.
The top three finishers were all below the nomination standard of 1 minute 57.28 seconds. Morgan was already in the squad thanks to the 100-back win, but Greenbank will have to wait to see if the performance director and head coach select him as one of their discretionary picks.

After this morning's fireworks, Angarad Evans was a little short on time tonight. At the 50 corner she was just 0.01 seconds slower than this morning, but she appeared to be on her toes with 25 meters to go as a hard-charging Kara Hanlon tried to catch her. Evans held on and won in 1:06.54, just 0.04 seconds behind Hanlon's 1:06.60.
Both swimmers tonight were outside the nomination criteria (Evans' time this morning does not count toward roster eligibility), so neither is guaranteed a spot on the train. Evans could be named to the 4×100 medley, but will have to wait for the results of the 100 free relay to see if the relay meets the voluntary nomination criteria. Hanlon, who won the 200m, could be named at discretion, but that would have to wait until the roster is officially announced. Both athletes were under the Olympic qualifying time of 1:06.79, so in theory if both were selected we could see them chasing each other. Molly RenshawThe record was 1:06.21.
Brocksidge gets a lot of attention because of her age, but 12-year-old Iona Winiflith has surpassed her. Winnifrith, who swims in the SB7 class, tied Brock Whiston in the 100 breaststroke for points (995 points) with a time of 1:31.58, breaking her own senior SB7 national record. The pair will share the title of British Champions, but were only two of the six swimmers to achieve the recommended times.
