Charlie Attwood doubles up in the breaststroke on day four

Charlie Attwood added a second gold medal to his tally on the final day of the ASA National Winter Meet (25m) 2016 in Sheffield.

After winning the Men’s 100m Breaststroke on day one, the Bath University swimmer doubled up with victory in the 200m Breaststroke.

Attwood shaved over a second and a half from his PB, going under 2:10 for the first time to take the touch in 2:08.53.

Attwood commented: “I’m really happy with that time because it’s my first time under 2:10. I couldn’t ask for much more. I just tried to stay relaxed and attack the second half, which I think worked out well. I just focused on my own race and stuck to my race plan.”

City of Birmingham’s Luke Davies came home second in 2:09.33 while Edinburgh University’s Calum Tait won bronze in 2:09.54.

Hopkin said: “I felt really good in the warm up, so I was hoping to do a good time. I’m really happy with a PB. I was hoping to win the 50m, but to get the 100m as well, it’s a big bonus.”
