Eighth place finish for GB in Combo

12 May 2016

The British team took to the pool for the seventh time in the Combo and secured eighth place overall at the LEN European Aquatics Championships.

The team, made up of Olivia Federici, Katie Clark, Hannah Randall, Emma Critchley, Kate Shortman, Isabelle Thorpe, Jorja Brown, Phoebe Bradley-Smith, Zoe James and Danielle Cooper placed eighth with a score of 77.9667 on the final rankings.

The James Bond themed routine, which included Adele's Skyfall, excited the home crowd and demonstrated the talent within the British team.

Randall said: “It was a really good swim for us, a new routine and we were really excited to go first.

“The crowd were amazing for us, especially being a home crowd and it felt really good.

“The opportunity to compete at these Europeans has been a great opportunity and a great learning experience for all the girls.

“We can’t wait to get back to training and keep improving. Our next big target is the World hopefully next summer.”

Next for the British Synchro team in London is the Duet Technical Final which will see Olympians Katie Clark and Olivia Federici return to the pool.
