British hopefuls make 100m freestyle semis in Baku

Darcy Deakin and Georgia Coates qualify as the two fastest Team GB swimmers in the 100m freestyle heats in Baku.

Team GB's Darcy Deakin and Georgia Coates have recorded strong times to reach the semi-finals of the 100m freestyle in Baku.

Their times - Deakin clocking 56.59 and Coates 56.96 - meant that they were sixth and eight-fastest in the heats.

Despite recording the 12th-fastest time overall (57.29), 15-year-old Madeleine Crompton missed out on the semis as only two swimmers from each nation can qualify.

This also prevented 11th-fastest Hannah Featherstone from qualifying, as her time of 57.11 was not enough to oust Coates.
