While veteran Olympians such as Aimee Willmott, Hannah Miley and Stephen Milne remain off the lists, newcomers include Hector Pardoe, Emma Russell and Jonathan Adam. Stirling’s Cassie Wild is a returnee to the Podium Potential program.
University of Arkansas standout Anna Hopkin was newly named to the Podium squad after her mega performances at the 2019 FINA World Aquatic Championships. The 24-year-old placed 7th in the women’s 50m free and 12th in the 100m free individual events. Her 24.34 time in the former and 53.21 time in the latter, both established in Gwangju, made Hopkin the 2nd fastest woman in British swimming history in both events.

There’s some quite lucky swimmers there I think.
You have to wonder if the veterans consistently not making the squad are going to retire at this point, BS is making it pretty clear what intentions are for 2021…
Agreed, at least Willmott is in an ISL team this year so has some income. Madness that someone who is 27 is seen as old to BS.
