SWIMMING
World Championship silver medallist Fran
Halsall experienced an intense few minutes which saw her
retain her 100metres freestyle crown before making a hasty return to
the pool to qualify for the 100m butterfly final at the British Gas
Swimming Championships in Sheffield. The 19-year-old was runner-up to
Britta Steffen in the 100m freestyle in Rome last summer and held off
Loughborough ITC team-mate Amy Smith to touch in 54.71seconds. Lizzie
Simmonds rated her victory over world champion Gemma
Spofforth in the 100metres backstroke at the British Gas Swimming
Championships as one of the high points of her career. The
19-year-old was seventh at last summer's World Championships in Rome
as Spofforth was crowned champion in world record time. However,
Simmonds turned the tables at Ponds Forge to lead from start to
finish despite a late challenge and touched in 59.43seconds. |
