New record set as Davies books semi-final spot

21 year-old in second Commonwealth Games

Guy Davies has progressed to the semi-finals of the Men's 100m Breaststroke as Island records continue to tumble at the Commonwealth Games in Australia.

He swam a new Manx record of 1:04.88 (64.88 seconds) at the Optus Aquatic Centre to book a place in the next stage.

 

That beats the previous Manx record set in Glasgow four years ago of 1:05.95 (65.95 seconds).

 

The 21-year-old - who's competing at his second Commonwealth Games - now has eyes on sealing a final place with the semis taking place from 11:30 (BST)
