Despite not being thrilled with her start in the heat, Tai had come within a fraction of a second of her personal best, set when she swam in the S10 class, so the writing was on the wall.<\/p>\n<p>Now swimming as an S8, it was clear that her personal best, which came in 2015 at the World Championships held in this very pool, was under threat this evening. With a much better start, the Paralympic medallist ripped down one length of the Tollcross pool to stop the clock in 29.43, bettering both her PB and the world record. The battle for the international medals was a global one with Italy\u2019s S13 <strong>Carlotta Gilli<\/strong> Italy scoring 926 points to edge out Canada\u2019s S10 <strong>Aurelie Rivard<\/strong> by 12 points. Tai also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/alice-tai-ellie-challis-scott-quin-break-para-world-records\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">broke a world record<\/a> in the 100 backstroke on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Doubling back just 20 minutes later for the Women\u2019s MC 100m Butterfly, Tai threatened another world record as she clinched her third gold medal in four days, to lead a British clean sweep of the podium. Pushing hard all the way as she chased competitors in higher classes, Tai touched in 1.08.25, just 0.05 shy of <strong>Steph Slater<\/strong> MBE\u2019s S8 world record in that event, securing her 997 points. <strong>Jessica-Jane Applegate<\/strong> rounded out her return to form with silver whilst Scotland\u2019s rising star <strong>Toni Shaw<\/strong> secured bronze with another strong swim, having broken the British S9 record in qualifying.<\/p>\n<p>A delighted Tai reflected on her week, saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>\u201cI\u2019m pleased with all of my swims but there\u2019s a whole host me and my coach can take away to work on. I\u2019ve really enjoyed trying out different events and I\u2019ve loved the atmosphere \u2013 the whole meet has been exceptional.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>\u201cMy 50m Freestyle was a PB so I\u2019m over the moon with that and my 100m Fly was just off the world record and I screwed up my turn, so I know there\u2019s more there. I\u2019m looking forward to World\u2019s and hopefully lots of people will come and watch, so the atmosphere will be great.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Reece Dunn<\/strong> has enjoyed a breakthrough week up in Glasgow, the Plymouth Leander swimmer winning no fewer than three World Series golds, the final one coming in the Men\u2019s MC 100m Butterfly. Finishing well clear of his nearest rival, the S14 swimmer stopped the clock in 55.87 to break another British record and only miss out on a world record by 0.15 of a second. Dunn beat <strong>Dai Tokairin<\/strong> of Japan by over a second, with his S14 rival the world record holder in this event, whilst S12 <strong>Raman Salei<\/strong> from Azerbaijan won bronze.<\/p>\n<p>On the opening night of action Dunn delivered a world record to secure the 100m Freestyle title, kick-starting what proved to be a great week for the para-swimming newcomer. Summarizing his four days in Glasgow Dunn said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>\u201cI\u2019ve had a tough week doing a lot more events than I\u2019d usually do, due to classification, but with the times I\u2019ve done I\u2019m very pleased. I\u2019m very pleased with the final race today, although I\u2019m a little disappointed with that last turn as I stopped moving as I was in a lot of pain, but to get close to that world record and break the British record is quite nice!<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Commenting on his world record, Dunn added:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>\u201cI\u2019m very pleased with the world record, my first ever one and hopefully next time I swim, either at World\u2019s or in Berlin, I can bring it down a bit further. My standout event of the week was probably the 100m Breaststroke though \u2013 it\u2019s probably my worst stroke but technically it was probably the best I\u2019ve ever done. My number one event is probably the 100m Fly though and I\u2019ll look to bring that time down further leading into London and Tokyo next year.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Another serial record breaker this week was <strong>Ellie Challis<\/strong>, the S3 swimmer stepping up to the plate once more as she broke the British Women\u2019s 50m Backstroke record with a 1:01.53 time. Striking gold though was Italy\u2019s <strong>Monica Boggioni<\/strong>, the S5 stopping the clock in 45.67, with Challis taking silver and Ines <strong>Rodriguez Martinez<\/strong> of Spain the bronze.<\/p>\n<p>Living up to its \u2018splash and dash\u2019 nickname, the Men\u2019s MC 50m Freestyle was fast and furious across all three finals, with some closely fought racing. Rounding out a stunning four days in Glasgow, just two hours away from his home in Newcastle, Japan\u2019s <strong>Takayuki Suzuki<\/strong> added yet another gold to his haul over the last four days. The S4 swimmer stopped the clock in 38.09, good for 957 points, with Spain\u2019s <strong>Jose Mari Alcaraz<\/strong> second and his fellow S9, <strong>Leo Lahteenmaki<\/strong> of Finland, getting up for bronze.<\/p>\n<p>Suzuki said afterwards:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>\u201cIt\u2019s been a blast here in Glasgow; I\u2019ve won five medals, three of them were gold and I also broke a world record, so, it\u2019s been very nice and very good for me. I didn\u2019t expect to break the world record, so yes I was surprised but very happy with it also. My swims this week have given me lots of confidence and I am very excited for the next two years with the Paralympics in my home country.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The final event of the meet was the Men\u2019s MC 50m Backstroke where <strong>Arnost Petracek<\/strong> was delighted to take the title, GB\u2019s <strong>Andrew Mullen<\/strong> second and <strong>Ivan Fernandez<\/strong> third. S4 Petracek of the Czech Republic swam 44.22 for 834 points to get the better of S5 Mullen\u2019s 757 points, which came courtesy of a 38.18 effort.<\/p>\n<p><i>The above press release was posted by Swimming World in conjunction with British Swimming<\/i><i>.
