Wood set a two-second PB to win the 200 free ahead of\u00a0Freya Anderson<\/strong>, a day after the National Centre Loughborough swimmer entered 2:22 territory in the 200 breaststroke,<\/a> another best by some margin.<\/p>\n
Wood, who is coached by Dave Hemmings<\/strong>, and Anderson had both gone 1:59 in qualifying and the pair were alongside each other in lanes four and five respectively.<\/p>\n
Wood led from start to finish and appeared to have a clear margin of victory until the final 25 when Anderson started to claw back the deficit.<\/p>\n
Wood, however, got her hand to the wall first in 1:57.96, second in the fledgling rankings behind Chihiro Igarashi<\/strong> of Japan, with Anderson touching in 1:58.00.<\/p>\n
Splits:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
Wood: 27.43\/57.34\/1:27.57\/1:57.96<\/p>\n
Anderson: 27.99\/57.87\/1:28.26\/1:58.00<\/p>\n
Holly Hibbott<\/strong> was third in 2:00.15 and it poses an intriguing question as to whether Great Britain can qualify a women’s 4×2 relay for Tokyo 2020<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Guy went sixth in the world rankings with his dominant 200 fly – an event that is not a main focus.<\/p>\n
The two-time Olympic relay medallist split 25.05\/53.89\/1:24.34 with a final 50 of 32secs to add the four-length title to the 100 he won on Friday.<\/p>\n

Mildred, 17, was second in 1:59.33 with Max Litchfield<\/strong> third in 1:59.62.<\/p>\n
Guy, who is coached by Dave McNulty<\/strong> at the National Centre Bath<\/strong>, said:<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a great swim and I\u2019m really happy with the time. It just shows that what we\u2019ve been doing in Bath over the past 10 weeks has been working.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been doing a massive, consistent block of work, and that\u2019s starting to come together now, grinding, day in and day out, it\u2019s just nice to see that everything is coming together.<\/p>\n
\n
“We\u2019re a few weeks out from Olympic trials, I\u2019m really happy with things and it\u2019s a positive sign.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just nice to be back racing again and in an Olympic-sized pool. Wearing masks on poolside, following the strict COVID procedures and warming up in different slots, it\u2019s the same for everyone but trying to adjust to it can be quite tricky, and I think that\u2019s where I went wrong on day one \u2013 but you have to live and learn. It\u2019s a privilege for us to be back in the water and racing again.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Renshaw, who tied the British record of 2:22.08 in the 200br on Friday, came from second at halfway to claim the two-length crown.<\/p>\n
Commonwealth 50br champion Sarah Vasey<\/strong> reached halfway in 31.50, 0.36 ahead of Renshaw who then ate into the deficit to touch in 1:07.38.<\/p>\n
Vasey was second in 1:07.76 with Imogen Clark<\/strong> third in 1:07.83.<\/p>\n
Wattel And Dean Sprint To Victory<\/h3>\n
Wattel\u00a0underlined her sprinting expertise and consistency by adding the 50 fly to the 50 free title she claimed on the opening night.<\/p>\n
The Frenchwoman stopped the clock at 25.51 – just 0.01 outside her PB that guided her to fifth at the 2019 worlds.<\/p>\n
Louise Hansson<\/strong> of Sweden was second in 26.05 with Harriet Jones<\/strong> the first Briton home in a Welsh record of 26.34 to get third.<\/p>\n
