[RussB 189]

Duncan looked rapid in the 4x100 relay so have high hopes we see him back to his 200m free best 

[Mkbw50 475]

Dawson third in her heat, 1:00.36, and through, Cox second, 1:00.27, and also through.

Greenbank 8th in his, 54.93, and eliminated.

McMillan 8th, 1:47.85, and eliminated, while Scott through in second 1:46.09.

The Water Polo team lost 15-10 and will face for 11th.

Quite disappointed that Luke couldn’t go a bit faster given his resurgence over 200m.. but difficult to really judge given the time of year

I do get the impression the level of 'tapering' is rather variable in the squad, even in the 4 x 1 boys who clearly did what they needed, but not much more. To be fair the level of tapering is variable throughout; the chinese, clearly, are on it, the American's not so much. For the Brits, Adam Peaty needed to make a statement for his own confidence - his return to some sort of form will be heartening.

 

This champs however, even more so than the Doha World Athletics, feels like a champs that will be soon forgotten, and in many ways placed in the memory hole - the classic "contractual obligation" album.
