Carlin and Pavoni Impressive on the Second Night of the British Swimming Championships

It was not a surprise to see European Championship gold medalist Jazz Carlin dominate the women’s 400 freestyle posting a winning time of 4:03.51. Her time places her second in the world rankings taking over that position from Lauren Boyle who recorded a 4:03.88 earlier this month.

Carlin’s time is just off her lifetime best of 4:03.24, which was her winning time in Berlin last summer. Carlin, who is now training with David McNulty, swum a very different race then she did her Berlin. At the European Championships Carlin negative split the race (2:01.63/2:01.61) in tonight’s final she raced more aggressively taking the first 200 out in a 2:00.51 and finishing in a 2:03.00.

Jessica Thielmann finished second hitting the wall in a time of 4:09.73 followed by Hannah Miley who took the bronze in a time of 4:10.89.

Men’s 200 IM

Roberto Pavoni won the men’s 200 IM in a time of 1:57.79. Pavoni beat his lifetime best of 1:58.14. His time puts him third in the world rankings.

Last summer Pavoni finished third at the European Championships in the event.

Daniel Wallace finished second in a time of 1:58.45 followed by Tristan Slater who recorded a 2:00.24.

Men’s 200 butterfly

Cameron Brodie took the men’s 200 butterfly in a time of 1:57.71 followed by Jay Lelliott who recorded a 1:58.04. The two had a strong battle throughout the race Brodie had the lead at the 50, Lelliott nudged six one-hundredths of a second ahead at the 100 and then Brodie took over the lead at the 150 mark and did not relinquish it.

Brodie was well off his lifetime best of 1:56.59 which he posted at the Commonwealth Games placing fourth. Lelliott improved on his best coming into the meet having recorded a 1:58.66 last summer.

Lewis Smith finished third in a time of 1:59.26. 

Women’s 200 breaststroke

Molly Renshaw took the women’s 200 breaststroke in a time of 2:25.75. She was well off her lifetime best of 2:23.82 which she recorded last summer taking the bronze at the European Championships.

Katie Matts gave her a run for her money up until the 100 meter turning 22 one-hundredths of a second behind Renshaw. In the second half of the race Matts could not maintain the pace and finished second in a time of 2:26.69.

Chloe Tutton finished third in a time of 2:26.76.

Men’s 100 freestyle

Callum Jarvis took the men’s 100 freestyle in a time of 48.79. Jarvis and Ben Proud were involved in an extremely tight race. Proud turned at the halfway point in a time of 23.14 followed by Jarvis who hit the wall in a time of 23.65. Jarvis was able to make up the difference in the second half of the race beating Proud by four one-hundredths of a second.

Proud took the silver in a time of 48.83 beating previous best of 48.88.

Robbie Renwick finished third in a time of 49.12.

Interesting night and as expected not as fast as last night overall. My highlight was actually the women’s 200 Breast – Eventhough Renshaw was disappointing, we have seen huge progress in that event. A few years ago we struggled to get a girl under 2.30, now we have 13 women under that.. 3 of them born 99/00.

Pavoni shocked me – Wallace had him at 150 and given Wallace’s freestyle I thought it was game over… Pavoni found a 27s final 50, brilliant swim.

Calum Jarvis is the real deal – I fancy him to beat James Guy in the 200. He switched to freestyle in 2012 and has been improving massively ever since.. another improving Bath swimmer.… Read more »

Great performance by Carlin and very surprising performance by Pavoni. Womens 400 free level in general wasnt that high. Mens 200 fly also wasnt very good. Im pretty disappointed by Renshaws time, sadly Taylor got disqualified. Mens 100 free was pretty good for GB standards, two guys faster than 49s and Scott (born in 1997) with 49.19.

I think GB will win at least a bronze medal in mens medley relay at 2015 wc and 2016 og. Peaty (probably at least 58.5 by 2016), CWH (faster than 53), Barrett (probably at least 51.6 by 2016) and Jarvis/Proud (probably at least 48.5 by 2016). I expect GB to be at least at 3.30 – 3.30.5 by 2016. CWH will be… Read more »

Uh, Christian Sprenger for Australia?
I think the US will probably win gold, but GB will definitely give them a run for their money. As fast as CWH has been, I don’t think he’ll beat Grevers/Thoman/Murphy, whoever our fastest backstroker is at that point. Then again, Peaty could be as much as a second faster than Cordes on the breast. The US will definitely throw down a fast fly leg, whoever swims it, and Adrian is reigning Olympic champ in the 100… Who knows though, by 2016 we might see Dressel anchoring the 400 medley.

Out of the four legs, I think the US wins three, the question is whether Peaty splits enough faster than Cordes to make… Read more »

Sprenger had 1.00.67 at australian championships, peaty was 59.04 already this season and will probably be at 58.5 of even better at british championships. The fastest australian guy this season was packard (1.00.27). USA probably wont lose any time at 100 back (maybe theyll even be faster), at 100 free/fly USA should win at least 0.5s each, so peaty would probably need to be 1s faster than cordes, which is possible but not very likely. USA should be faster than 3.30 by 2016 (Murphy/Grevers 52.5 by 2016, Cordes 59.5 or faster by 2016, Phelps 51 or faster by 2016, Adrian 48 or faster by 2016) and GB probably wont be able to swim that fast, unless Proud and Barrett improve… Read more »
