Oliver Morgan capped a remarkable rise by breaking the British 100m backstroke record to qualify for the Paris Olympics.
Morgan, 20, was not on the radar at the elite level until he won three titles at the British Championships last year.
He defended his 100m crown on Wednesday in a time of 52.70 seconds to better Liam Tancock’s record from 2009.
“If you asked me two years ago if I would be in this position I’d have said there’s no way,” Morgan said.
“I can’t put it into words.”
Elsewhere, 14-year-old Amelie Blocksidge defended her 1500m freestyle title but her effort of 16 minutes 13.39 at London Aquatics Centre was outside the Olympic qualification time.
Scotland’s Kathleen Dawson, a relay gold medallist from the Tokyo Games, did qualify for Paris by winning the 100m backstroke after three years dogged by injury.
Alice Tai impressively won a hotly-contested para 100m backstroke event to put herself in a strong position for qualification for the Paralympics.
