British Trials, Day 6 Prelims: Tom Dean, Matt Richards, Duncan Scott, James Guy & Friends Set For 200 Free Frenzy
The spotlight on the men’s programme on the final day of prelims at the Aquatics Centre is dominated by the 200 free which features Olympic and world champions, including Matt Richards and Tom Dean.
Away from the 200 free, Luke Greenbank – the Olympic and world medallist – goes in the 200 back as he seeks to book his place in Paris 2024.
Men’s 200m Backstroke
Greenbank went in the final heat after 100 winner Ollie Morgan had posted a time of 1:58.89.
Jonathon Marshall was leading before Greenbank, who won bronze in Tokyo, came past on the second half of the race to book lane four in 1:57.35.
Greenbank told Swimming World:
“It’s an opportunity to blow off the cobwebs. Hopefully there’s a lot more in there I think.
“I just wanted to get out, strong start, try to finish well but I think there’s no point overdoing it in the heats so there’s a little bit more in there.”
Also through to Sunday’s final: Brodie Williams (1:59.43), Charlie Brown (1:59.59), Matthew Ward (1:59.98), Cameron Brooker (2:00.89) and Jack Skerry (2:00.95).
