DANIEL SLIWINSKI QUALIFIES FOR BRITISH OLYMPIC TEAM
Men's 100 breast
FINA A: 1:00.79; British Second-place Qualifier: 1:00.50
Daniel Sliwinski nearly cleared 1:00 en route to grabbing a spot on the Olympic roster. He won the race in 1:00.09 to move to the top of the world rankings this year ahead of Daniel Gyurta's 1:00.43 from January. Craig Benson, meanwhile, made the cut by just .03 seconds with a 1:00.47 to secure the second roster spot and move to third in the world rankings.
Michael Jamieson was the hard-luck third-place finisher with a 1:00.50, that would have satisfied the requirements to make the Olympic team if he finished second.
Andrew Willis (1:01.34), Kristopher Gilchrist (1:01.50), Richard Webb (1:01.59), Russell Smith (1:01.75) and James Broady (1:02.04) also competed for the national title.
Daniel has trained with GCST during a few winter holidays spent in Ft. Myers.
Congratulations Danny!!!
