Olympic silver medallist Michael Jamieson has reiterated that Great Britain are the "strongest" nation in the men's breaststroke event after three Brits earned places on the podium at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.
The 25-year-old, who has become the face of his home Games, was tipped to snatch gold for Scotland in the 200m final at Tollcross this evening, but was beaten by his teammate Ross Murdoch.
Due to British Swimming thriving in this event, Jamieson light-heartedly suggested that qualification for the World Championships next year could be tight.
"I've been saying for the last couple of years now that we really dominate that event," Jamieson told Sports Mole.
"I think some people might look at these results and see so many Brits and think that it's not the strongest field, but it's certainly not the case.
"We are the strongest nation in the world in this event, and I dread to think what it's going to take to qualify for the World Championships next year."
England's Andrew Willis took bronze in the event as Scotland scooped three medals, while England won four in the pool on the opening day.
Australia have topped the medal table so far with seven swimming medals.
