Duncan Scott booked his ticket to the Paris Olympics after finishing second in the 100m freestyle at the British Championships.
Scott – Britain’s most decorated Olympic swimmer – was less than a tenth of a second behind winner Matthew Richards, with his 47.92s swim coming under the qualification time for Paris.
The University of Stirling swimmer will also be part of the men’s 4x100m relay team, made up of the top four finishers in the 100m freestyle.
He will swim again on Sunday in the 200m freestyle.
Scots swimmer Katie Shanahan put herself into contention for the Olympics in the 400m women’s individual medley after an impressive performance at the British Championships.
The University of Stirling swimmer came second to Freya Colbert with a time of 4:36:67 – under the consideration time for Paris – with Colbert recording a personal best of 4:34:01 to secure her qualification.
“I’m really happy with that,” Shananan said afterwards “It wasn’t quite a PB but it was under the consideration time.
“It’s a long way to Paris so I’ve got a lot of work to be doing but hopefully over the summer, if I get selected, I’ll be able to get that time down.”
Meanwhile Stephen Clegg picked up gold in 100m para freestyle – beating his brother James in second place – with a qualifying time of 54.03 which is under the nomination time for the Paralympics this summer.
