Good stuff this morning -

Danielle Hill , after a year of injury and all around hassle, made the 50 backstroke semis

Kell and Corby rocked it in the 200BRS - 2:10 for them both. That's top swimming out of Corby expecially - he really closed it well to come flying up at the end. Kelly is irresistable when he's leading it out - he always goes hard and goes early. Trouble is, the back end is not kind to him - his final turn there looked very ragged. I wonder will either break the 2:10 tonight

Ellen Walshe - the usual class act. LOL, European SC 'fly champion and she's gapped out to 6th after the 'fly leg. She knew what she was at though and waltzed through the feld when needed. SOme turn she did for the final 50 - absolutely hammered the underwater

 

[BlackpoolTerrier]

ShorttY will be disappointed there. Thought he swam well, not fantastic. His turns and underwaters are off the charts but he was a bit choppy in the stroke trying to keep with the early pace. 1:55.8

 

[BlackpoolTerrier]

Great stuff Mona - 1st medal of the gala for Ireland
1:05.4 is tasty.

 

[BlackpoolTerrier]

No autoQ for Zhigalov the doper.

Now Kelly and Corby, let’s have ye

 

[BlackpoolTerrier]

Jaysus, another Irish record for Kelly - will get lane 6 or 3 for the final too. Corby fierce close in another PB swim

 

[BlackpoolTerrier]

That podium feeling...
