April 20, 2021 #84 Tokyo Bound - British Olympic Trials Review
It was a rip-snorting week of swimming at the British Olympic selection trials with 23 swimmers putting themselves forward for a shot at Olympic selection alongside the 4 who had already been confirmed.
The action in the water produced high drama, some incredible speed and a new bunch of names to watch. Who caught our eye? How good was the men's 200m freestyle? What of Britain's Olympic ambitions now and who will the selectors pick? Bob, Katie and Steve consider all this and more as we look back over an impressive 5 days of competition.
