The women’s 200 free got the meet under way with Holly Hibbott<\/strong> the winner of the first heat in 2:00.47.<\/p>\n

The pace noticeably picked up in the following two heats with Abbie Wood<\/strong>, who has been on a steep trajectory since the turn of 2020, demonstrating the fine skills and underwaters that are a hallmark of Dave Hemmings<\/strong>-coached swimmers to win the second heat in 1:58.59.<\/p>\n

Freya Anderson<\/strong> looked mightily impressive in the final race with a comfortable first 50 before going away on the third to stop the clock at 1:58.17.<\/p>\n

The two-time European relay champion booked lane four ahead of Wood with Tamryn van Selm<\/strong> the third woman under two minutes in 1:59.51, the trio the top qualifiers.<\/p>\n

Tom Dean<\/strong> went out fast in the first seeded heat, his long stroke guiding him to the top of the field before Luke Turley<\/strong> took over to stop the clock at 3:52.04, Dean in 3:52.81.<\/p>\n
The final heat featured Dan Jervis<\/strong>, the Welshman blessed with copious talent but who by his own admission buckles under the pressure of the big arena.<\/p>\n
Jervis stopped the clock at 3:49.64 to book lane four with William Bell<\/strong> (3:51.22) and Kieran Bird<\/strong> (3:51.36) the next quickest and Turley and Dean fourth and fifth.<\/p>\n

Hannah Miley and Aimee Willmott have been consistent top-class performers on the world stage for Britain for many years with four Olympic finals between them.<\/p>\n
Miley was in the first of two heats and was some way back in third going into the breaststroke leg, where she moved through the field.<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old has many years of experience on which to draw and she touched second in 4:49.05 to book her place in the final behind Lily Booker<\/strong> (4:46.42).<\/p>\n
Willmott completely dominated her heat in 4:42.92 to lead the way into the final ahead of Booker and Freya Colbert<\/strong> (4:48.93). with Miley next swiftest through.<\/p>\n
