SCOTLAND’s Hannah Miley made sure to give the Glasgow Tollcross International Swimming Centre crowd plenty to cheer on day one of the 2016 British Swimming Championships after booking her spot at a third Olympic Games.

Two years ago Miley won gold in the 400m individual medley in the same pool at the Commonwealth Games.

And she was back on top form once again as she pipped rival Aimee Willmott on the opening night, coming home in a time of 4:33.40.

That was comfortably inside the qualifying standard required for Rio, and her place should be confirmed with the rest of the team next Thursday.

“My target was to get the consideration time and I’ve got that. Now I can relax and enjoy the competition and see how the rest of my races go, so I’m very happy,” she said.

“That was the race that I wanted, for me it’s all about practising and planning my preparations for getting up to swim fast on day one of the Olympics, so mission achieved.

“Getting on the team is very cut-throat. This is it, there are no semi-finals, you either do it or you don’t.

“And again, that is what the Olympics is like, you don’t get second chances so anything can happen.

“You can be the best prepared, but make the slightest mistake and it almost defines your career. None of us want that to happen.”

Other winners on the night included multiple world champions James Guy and Adam Peaty who also booked their place on the team after successful performances in the 400m freestyle and 100m breaststroke respectively.

Meanwhile Michael Jamieson has turned his attentions to the 200m breaststroke after failing to qualify in the 100m following a seventh-place finish but remains optimistic he can turn things around in his favoured event on Friday.

“I’ve obviously got a lot of work to do to get back to my best but the 200 is on Friday so it was a bit of a toss-up whether we did the 100. It’s just trying to get some race practice before Friday,” said the 27-year-old, who won 200m breaststroke silver at London 2012.

“It’s always been a bit of a weakness, that front-end speed.

“We’ve put a lot of work into it but it’s not quite clicking yet on the speed work.

“But the 100 isn’t always a reflection of how things are going to go in the 200, particularly in breaststroke so I’m still in with a shout and you never know what can happen on the day.”
