I&#8217;ve just gone and won it and not trie4d to put too many expectations on myself in terms of the time but I just wanted to go and win it again.&#8221;\u00a0Of her plans for 2025, she said: &#8220;I was hoping to make it to Singapore but I didn&#8217;t get the selection time.

The 100 back, I\u2019ve always loved doing that. It\u2019s an event I\u2019ve normally done at the end of a meet or untapered. I\u2019ve never done it tapered or rested. This morning, I felt good and was hoping to do a bit quicker. It was a stacked field but happy to come on top. The 100 back is something Ben (coach <strong>Ben Higson<\/strong>) and I have been talking about. If I can keep improving something I would like to continue doing it. It helps with the 200 back and I\u2019ve put a lot into it in training.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"610194\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/british-championships-day-2-womens-finals-abbie-wood-edges-freya-colbert-to-book-singapore-spot\/women-100-back-final-london\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/women-100-back-final-london-.png\" data-orig-size=\"805,380\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"women 100 back final london\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/women-100-back-final-london--700x380.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/women-100-back-final-london-.png\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-610194\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/women-100-back-final-london--700x380.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"602\" height=\"284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/women-100-back-final-london--280x132.png 280w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/women-100-back-final-london--300x142.png 300w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/women-100-back-final-london--450x212.png 450w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/women-100-back-final-london--533x252.png 533w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/women-100-back-final-london-.png 805w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Para Swimming<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the Women&#8217;s MC 100m Backstroke, S14 rivals and friends <strong>Poppy Maskill<\/strong> and <strong>Georgia Sheffield<\/strong> lined up in the centre lanes, targeting a time quicker than 1:07.01 to go inside their classification&#8217;s Para Swimming World Championship selection mark, as well as that British gold medal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sheffield took the early lead and was nearly half-a-second up at the turn, only for supreme racer Maskill &#8211; a five-time Paralympic medallist last summer &#8211; to do the business over the final lap and win the British title in 1:05.67, with Sheffield doing a 1:06.46 for silver &#8211; <strong>Ela Letton-Jones<\/strong> (S12) took bronze.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;That was really hard but I&#8217;m really happy with that time, so that&#8217;s good.
