Haslam fifth with 373.90. Into the final.

Crisp, 1:57:50.00 and 17th, Keegan 28th 1:59:00.40. Crisp misses out on direct qualification but gets the European place.

Anyone know what Keegan is capable of in the pool? Assume if she could get the time for 800m or 1500m she could be entered into the open water event?

[Mkbw50 438]

Already up to three medals 1-1-1 as Haslam snags a bronze with 393.10.

In 2022 got a silver in British champs for 1500. Was 5th in 2023. 5th in 2022 in 800, 6th in 2023

PB is 16:37.19 and 8:43.93 so she needs a bit of work still

[Mkbw50 438]

Yesterday's results: Spendolini Sirieix third and through to the semis with a 344.00, Toulson also advanced in thirteenth with a 283.40, Harding and Laugher fifth, 376.26

Bronze medal for Hector Pardoe with a 1:48:29.20 1-1-2

The water polo team lost 22-10

Another step forward by Shortman and Thorpe to claim silver!!

[Mkbw50 438]

Spendolini Sirieix managed a bronze with 377.10, while Toulson was sixth 321.60.

Shortman and Thorpe managed a silver medal with a score of 259.5601, so our haul is now 1-2-3.

Today:

0702 Diving Men's 3m Springboard Preliminaries - Ross Haslam, Jack Laugher

0900 Water Polo Women's Group D - vs

1532 Diving Women's 10m Synchronised Platform Final - Lois Toulson and Andrea Spendolini Sirieix

 

Haslam advanced in fourth with 429.05, with Laugher 20th with 363.10 not enough. The Water Polo team lost 20-5

[Rafa Maciel 1,594]

Looking at the 3m prelims, it looks like Laugher was scheduled to go for his hardest dive in the 4th round - forward 2.5 somersaults with 3 twists in pike, but he had a problem with his hurdle step which meant he was pitched forward. Although it looked like he got the somersaults in, he had to do them in tuck position and he didn't have enough height to be able to put in the twists hence the 0 score.

 

It's a shame - had it happened in the 3rd round, I think he would have been able to score enough points to get him into the semi finals. 

[Mkbw50 438]

299.34 for the diving team, enough for a bronze medal, making it 1-2-4.

 

Today:

0630 Artistic Swimming Women's Duet Free Preliminaries - Kate Shortman and Isabelle Thorpe

0702 Diving Men's 3m Springboard Semifinals - Ross Haslam

1002 Diving Women's 3m Synchronised Final - Scarlett Mew Jensen and Yasmin Harper

There are at least three serious diving medal shots left, a good shout of another artistic medal (can hardly believe I'm typing that tbh!) - and that's with Jack having two mares when in good, good shape - something hopefully ironed out by Paris. By GBR historic standards, it has been a sensational first week - six diving medals and counting in particular is absolutely wild.
