Luke Greenbank Leads Home Brother Sam For 1-2 In Sheffield<\/h4>\n

Luke Greenbank<\/strong> led home brother Sam<\/strong> for a backstroke 1-2 for the second time at the Swim England National Winter Championships (25m)\u00a0<\/strong>in Sheffield.<\/p>\n

Greenbank the elder, who has won Olympic bronze and world silver in the 200 back, was 0.43 behind his younger brother at halfway in the 100 before a strong second half of the race propelled him into the wall in 51.91 with Sam second in 52.30, clear of Charlie Broome<\/strong> who clocked 53.28.<\/p>\n

The Greenbank brothers replicated the result of the 200 back where Luke took gold and Sam silver, months after the former endured a heartbreaking DQ at Paris 2024.<\/p>\n
