- Siobhan-Marie O'Connor‘I am over the moon with that. I’m in a really good block of training, probably the most consistent block of training I’ve had for a really long time. I’m tired and really surprised by that.
“I’ve worked really hard and I thought this week I’d be a bit flat, a bit sluggish but I felt really good there. My breaststroke has come on a lot and I’ve done a lot of work on technique and that really shows. I’m surprised and really happy and with this my last competition before Rio it’s a good place to be”, added O'Connor.
