00:00On two and three is Roseboom, Damaciotti and Lana Poudar.
00:10So Poudar has got medals in each of the last two Europeans.
00:13Silver last time, gold the time before.
00:19So this is the first of the two semifinals, the women's 200m butterfly.
00:23The start down in lane number eight places to us.
00:26That's Laura Lassenen of Finland.
00:30Right at the centre, wow, what a fast turnover.
00:33Right in the middle there, the black hat of Italy.
00:37The 21 year old Paola Borelli.
00:39Interesting stroke style as well, her breathing technique really quite different.
00:44She breathes to her right hand side.
00:47Normally on butterfly you go straight forward, but she breathes to her right.
00:51It's not a bad idea if you can do it, but it's not easy to do at all.
00:55Really quite challenging.
00:57Just see her breathing to her right hand side, almost like a front wall style.
01:01But if you sit at home now, put your cup of tea down first, and then you put both your
01:06arms forward, but then turn your head to the right.
01:11It's not very easy to keep both shoulders balanced and flat.
01:16If you turn to your right, your left shoulder will dip down.
01:19You've got to keep them balanced.
01:20You've got to keep them flat.
01:22This is good for Borelli.
01:24Richards going well in five, in three is Pouda.
01:30So these three quite a way ahead of the rest of the field at the moment.
01:35It's Richards just starting to catch up closer to us.
01:40She's still got it well. 1, 2, 1. See the numbers just changing a little bit on every stroke with
01:44every drive.
01:46See how she hits the wall here, Richards. Not bad at all. In fact, very quick around the wall. That's
01:51good discipline.
01:521.33-4 is fast as well. Wow.
01:55So Richards leads from Borelli second, Poudar third. This is outstanding. Swimming from Emily Richards.
02:02Golly. This is very good indeed. She's finishing this well.
02:08Emily Richards at Great Britain. Well, in theory, one job to do is just to make the final.
02:12But she looks outstanding here. She's at the Manchester Performance Centre.
02:16They've had a great meet. They really have.
02:19Jimmy Guy winning bronze in the men's 200 freestyle. And there we go. What is that? That's a 2.07
02:24-1.
02:25Very good indeed.
