One final appearance on BBC News (UK)’ Sportsday programme before the show sadly ends next week 😔 It has been a vital place to showcase underserved sports & it was so important to me personally to profile swimming + diving one last time, ahead of the Worlds here in Singapore ✌️



Matt Richards seventh through to the 100 free semis in 47.89, the 8th swiftest of his career. That followed the 200 free where the Olympic silver medallist missed the final. Matt Richards MBE greeted the outcome of his 100 prelim with a big smile. #AQUASingapore25 #AQUASingapore2025
