Men’s 200 breast
Andrew Willis unleashed a sizzling 2:08.08 to win the men’s 200-meter breaststroke at the 2016 British Nationals.
Willis’ time punched his ticket in the event to Rio by clearing the ultra-tough 2:08.52 British Olympic qualifying time.
Only Marco Koch has been faster this year with a 2:07.69 from the Luxembourg Euro Meet.
Craig Benson turned in a second-place time of 2:09.07 to move to sixth in the world, but was within the 2 percent cutoff time to secure a second spot at the Olympics.
Ross Murdoch, the British national record holder, wound up third in 2:09.16 to move to seventh in the world.
James Wilby (2:10.19), Michael Jamieson (2:10.55), Adam Peaty (2:11.71), Robert Holderness (2:13.29) and Calum Tait (2:13.53) also competed.
That means the Olympic silver medalist in the event, Jamieson, will not compete in Rio.
