British hopefuls make 100m freestyle semis 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.
