BRITISH GAS SCOTTISH SWIMMING CHAMPIONSHIPS
Venue: Glasgow Dates: 25 to 28 June Coverage: Daily video highlights on the BBC Sport website (UK only)
Gemma Spofforth romped to her third title at the Scottish National Swimming Championships in Glasgow by winning the 100m backstroke final on Saturday.
The 21-year-old won the race in 59.56 seconds, adding it to her record-breaking wins in the 50m and 200m.
The 400m freestyle was won by Sasha Matthews in four minutes 11.65 seconds.
Olympic champion Rebecca Adlington withdrew from the event due to asthma, but her time in Sheffield ensures her place at August's World Championships.
In the men's 200m individual medley, Joseph Roebuck - in a personal best time of two minutes, 00.92 seconds - claimed the narrowest of victories over Lewis Smith by just one-hundreth of a second, taking his rival's place in Rome in the process.
"I always miss out on touches but managed to get it this time," said 23-year-old, who suffered the agony of missing out on Olympic qualification last year.
606: DEBATE" Things look good at the moment, but it's not always easy to see where other teams are "
Commonwealth 100m champion Simon Burnett took the 50m free in a time of 22.32 seconds to snatch a place on the plane to Rome for the World event.
He won the 100m event on Thursday but not quickly enough for a spot on the Great Britain team.
Lowri Tynan won the women's 50m breaststroke in 32.50secs and David Davies dipped just below his British record in the men's 800m free, with a new mark of 7 minutes, 50.49 seconds.
Marco Loughran was unable to achieve 200m backstroke qualification 24 hours after securing his 100m spot, despite winning the event tonight, whilst Darren Mew won the 100m breastroke but was unable to top Kristopher Gilchrist's time from Sheffield.
Spofforth's time is easily fast enough to ensure she and British champion Lizzie Simmonds will represent Great Britain in both the 100m and 200m backstroke at the World Championships.
"I just came in today to have a little bit of fun," said Spofforth. "The world record was kind of on the cards but we'll save that to Rome."
