Swimming: World Championships

2019

Day 7

Duration: 59 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two EnglandLatest broadcast: on Red Button One

The best of the action from the penultimate day of competition in Gwangju, South Korea, with British medal hopes including Ben Proud in the 50m freestyle.

Proud is the reigning Commonwealth and European champion in the 50m free, and claimed a bronze medal in the discipline at the most recent World Championships, held in Hungary in 2017. There could also be British involvement in the men’s 100m butterfly, where James Guy will hope to improve on the bronze medal he won in Budapest two years ago.

Other medals up for grabs include the women’s 800m freestyle, in which American superstar Katie Ledecky – who won the corresponding race at both the 2012 and 2016 Olympics – is likely to add to her already formidable medal collection.

Presented by Jeanette Kwakye, with studio analysis provided by Rebecca Adlington and Mark Foster. Show less
