More gold for Guy as swimmers add six medals

3 Nov 2015

Double World Champion James Guy was back among the gold medals on day two of the FINA/airweave World Cup in Qatar as the British squad added a further six medals to take their total to nine.

Guy (Millfield) delivered another world class performance to add the 200m Freestyle title to yesterday’s 400m gold.

And World Championship medallist Jazz Carlin (National Performance Centre, Bath) was also back on the podium at the Hamad Aquatic Centre, Doha adding 400m Freestyle silver to her 800m second place.

World Champion Ross Murdoch (University of Stirling) showed his versatility across the breaststroke events to take bronze over the 100m distance while youngster Luke Greenbank (Cockermouth), who won two individual golds and two relay silvers at this year’s European Games in Baku, delivered another promising international performance with bronze in the 200m Backstroke.

Stephen Milne (Perth City) and Liam Tancock (National Performance Centre, Loughborough) rounded off the action with bronze medals in the 1500 Freestyle and 50m Backstroke respectively.

Britain’s swimmers are currently undergoing a hard block of work to lay the foundations on which they can build their performances for 2016 and, over the next two months, they will combine this with race preparation and process practice across a number of events.
