Fran Halsall vows to improve despite breaking Commonwealth record

Team England star Fran Halsall has admitted that there are aspects of her form that she needs to work on, despite breaking a Commonwealth Games record in the 50m freestyle semi-final today.

The 24-year-old eased her way into Saturday's final in 24.14 seconds, alongside her teammate Amy Smith.

"I'm just in good shape," Halsall told reporters. "I'm swimming fast, I can't complain really, but there's still things that can be better, I know, and there's still things from this morning that I took into tonight that I needed to get better on.

"It's just the race tomorrow night is going to be close, I know it is. I'm not favourite going into it by a long way, so, it's all about just getting up there and seeing what I can do."

Halsall has eight Commonwealth medals to her name.
