Safe to say that the 100 fly did not go according to plan.

All part of Jimmy Guy's customary attempt to lull everyone into false low expectations....honest.

Wait and see what Guy does in the 100 fly. He looked very good in the 100 free just now and the fly is usually his better 100 event.

So I guess Guy has been focussing more on free  It's a shame when a country fills one hole in their medley only for another to appear.

I guess the 'positive' is that we know Guy has it in him to do a great relay split. Whereas previously we were grateful that Greenbank was getting sub-54 splits consistently!
