3rd Time Lucky...

In a bit of drama, the City of Leeds Combo team swimming first completely missed the opening lift and the routine was stopped by the referee as the opening bars of the piece were missed out. In a second attempt a repeat although this time the team stayed on the deck and the competition only got under way at the third attempt.

it was a great swim under the circumstances and unofficially the scores announced are as follows

4 Col 65.510
3 Bristol Central 69.020
1 Rushmoor 70.180
6 Birmingham 64.260
5 Trafford 65.050
7 Rugby 63.280
9 Walsall 59.670
2 Reading 70.030
8 Seymour 59.820

I must stress this is unofficial and there may be penalty points but it seems the team are just outside the medals, but finishing in a very respectable 4th place finsish.

Still no news on the tech solo, but we have heard that 4 swimmers were docked a 0.5 penalty point and another docked 1 penalty point, Rosie being one of them receiving a 0.5 penalty. We had her in second place before this based on the scores announced, but the top five were very close and so we await the amended scores. 3 of the top five incurred a penalty including the leader, Rhianon Williams, so hopefully that negates some of the effect of the penalty.

Hi everyone,

Well here we are again in Gloucster for the British Championshiips and the running order for today is;

Technical Solo
Free Combination
Tech Duet
Tech Team Competition

In the first event we have Rosie Barrington Swimming for the City of Leeds and she has just swam a fantastic routine and the completion is still underway but she nestled amongst the leading bunch and well placed. This result is coupled with the free routine tomorrow and so a good placing in the technical event is vital.

The news is that The GL1 has free wifi and so expect many updates as the day goes on.

After the team swim the combo, we then look forward to the duet in which Rosie Barrington and Jessica Ranson compete, and finish off a long day with the Tech Team.

As always, results to follow.
