These swimmers are still competing for the best times to become Olympic and then European junior champions.

The final featured six of the ten fastest British athletes in history, so speed was always expected and it did not disappoint. Jacob Peters led at half-turn and touched at 23.63 points. However, they were not strong enough in the water and Joe Litchfield's speedy back half caused the upset. Litchfield finished in 27.48 seconds, but finished in 51.71 seconds.
However, Litchfield's time was slightly below the nomination standard and although he did not automatically qualify for the team, at the medal ceremony his swim was recognized as a place in the 4×100 medley. I was told that I was eligible.
Joshua Gammon had a great swim to win the 200 fly on night one, coming in second from lane 7 with a score of 51.82. Jacob Peters, who was in line for nomination this morning, slowed down tonight and hit the wall in third place (51.88 points). This was the only competition Peters was on the entry list, and his Olympic hopes appear to be over.
james guy I finished in 5th place, 0.03 slower than this morning. He will have to wait until the final day of the 200m free race to find out whether he will be able to participate in his third Olympics.
Litchfield's time was slower than the Olympic A standard of 51.67 seconds, so even if Guy were selected for the team in the 200 free, the National Olympic Committee can only enter two athletes to swim the 200 free. It seems unlikely. A standard has been reached.
