The 2022 British Championships continued today from Sheffield, with swimmers vying for spots on both the World Championships and Commonwealth Games rosters.
KATHLEEN Dawson plans to seize her shot at redemption with both hands after leading the Brits to an Olympic record in the heats of the 4x100m mixed medley. The 23-year-old Fifer, hugely disappointed with sixth in the 100m backstroke final, provided the initial impetus before Adam Peaty, James Guy and Freya Anderson finished the job to sweep into Saturday morning’s final (3.43am). Their time of 3:38.75 was also a European record and it hands Dawson and Anderson an amazing chance of a first Games gold with Peaty and Guy out to add to their hauls. And the Scot said: “It was great. I’m glad I managed to pull my finger out in the team event and manage something I couldn’t do for individual. I’m really happy I went through in first place.”
