After two medals in the pool last night, there are more chances for Danielle Hill and Jack Kelly, you would have to say outside chances though, but you never know on the day. It’s a different story later in athletics where Mark English and Rhasidat Adeleke go into their finals among the fastest qualifiers and will have medals in mind in the 800m and 200m. Both races are late starts, well after 9pm, but well worth tuning in for to see.European swimming championshipsWomen’s 50m backstroke final: Danielle Hill (5.36pm)Women’s 200m breaststroke semi-finals: Ellie McCartney, Mona McSharry (6.07pm)Men’s 200m breaststroke final: Jack Kelly (6.29pm)European Athletics ChampionshipsMen’s 200m semi-finals: Sean Aigboboh, Marcus Lawler (8.05pm)Men’s 800m final: Mark English (9.28pm)Women’s 200m final: Rhasidat Adeleke (9.50pm)
