Double Olympic champion Duncan Scott won the men’s 200m individual medley title in style as the Aquatics GB Swimming Championships continued in London.
Scott, 28, has won silver medals in the event at the last two Olympics and showed he remains a class act, winning in a time of 1:56.08 to qualify for this summer’s European Aquatics Championships in Paris.
He saw off Evan Jones in second, while Max Litchfield took bronze.
Scott said: “It was pretty good, I think.
“In terms of my technique, my strokes and transitions between them felt pretty good, and I’m happy – that’s a good place for me to be at this time of the season.”
The Scottish swimmer won gold in the men’s 4x200m freestyle relay at both Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024..
Earlier on Friday evening Oliver Morgan won the 50m backstroke and Eva Okaro became champion in the women’s 50m butterfly.
Morgan set a new personal best of 24.36, and Okaro claimed her second title of the week with a PB of 25.95 to break the sub-26-second mark for the first time.
She said: “I’m really happy with that. The 50m is a bit of a fun one for me, but I really enjoyed that race.
“I wanted to race the event to break up the meet a bit, but I’m also quite good at a splash and dash, so why not!”
British titles are being awarded in 36 medal events across the meet in London this week., external
