Cumbrian swimming star Luke Greenbank landed a bronze medal at the British Swimming Championships - and is out for more success this weekend.

The Cockermouth swimmer came third in the men’s 100m backstroke final.

And he will now target success in his favoured event of the 200m backstroke on Sunday.

The 25-year-old double Olympic medallist and former European champion is in action in the national championships in Sheffield.

The meeting forms a key selection event for this year’s World Championships, and another part of the build-up to next year’s Paris Olympics.

Greenbank got his Sheffield campaign under way with a third-placed finish in the 100m final behind Oliver Morgan and Cameron Brooker on Wednesday.

Morgan claimed a narrow victory to add to his 50m triumph, winning in a time of 53.92 seconds ahead of Brooker in 53.94 with Greenbank clocking 54.30.

Greenbank will now be in action in Sunday morning’s 200m heats ahead of Sunday evening’s final.

The Cumbrian, speaking ahead of the championships, spoke about his aspirations.

“I'm just looking forward to racing,” he told britishswimming.org.

“I’ve got no expectations really – I just want to go in and do my best.

“For me, the objective of Champs is to try to make the [World Championships] team, so hopefully I’ll come away from that and then move on from there," he said.

“I think every year before an Olympics is sort of a stepping stone. What we want from this year is just to move on and improve from last year.

“Obviously we got that racing exposure with three competitions last year, so there’s a lot to learn from that. 

"There’s been some good and some bad experiences, but we've got to move on and use this as an opportunity to get better and almost practice for 2024.”
