Day 1 Challengers

Among those in action this morning are Adam Peaty and James Wilby, Ross Murdoch and Craig Benson, Freya Anderson, Abbie Wood and Holly Hibbott. The women’s 400m medley will feature the return of Hannah Miley, the 2010 and 2014 Commonwealth champion for Scotland, in a rematch with 2018 Commonwealth champion for England, Aimee Willmott.

Peaty, Wilby, Scott and Luke Greenbank are pre-selected courtesy of the solo medals they won at 2019 World Championships – but they must show form this week,.

Neither big international podium placer has been funded this past Olympic cycle but this morning, they’ll be aiming for a place in final that will grant them a shot at a berth on what for Miley would be a fourth Olympics squad, and a third Games team for Willmott.

The first session also features Duncan Scott in the 200m medley with brothers Max and Joe Litchfield and Mark Szaranek; the 400m freestyle with Dan Jervis, Tom Dean and Stephen Milne; Alys Thomas and Harriet(s) Jones and West.

Consideration standards means that names will not be confirmed until the British Olympic Association names its swimming squad for Team GB. Technically, any who finish top two in the following individual events will have a ticket to Tokyo in their hand.

Safety measures and protocols are in place in the bubble the swimmers, coaches and other participants are living in as a result of the pandemic. There is no crowd, save for those involved in the meet stretched out in the stands, are no volunteers to carry the baskets with swimmers clothes and the like.

The key point, however, is the purpose of the meet: to select the Britain team for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games as efforts are made to ensure the Games go on in the strangest of circumstances.
