Cumbrian swimmer Luke Greenbank swept to two gold medals at the British Swimming Championships in Sheffield.

The Cockermouth star came out on top in the 100m backstroke final.

And the 24-year-old followed that up with victory in the 200m backstroke.

It proved further successful build-up for Greenbank to this year's Commonwealth Games and World Championships.

And they are the latest medals to add to the Cumbrian's collection after his double success in the Tokyo Olympics.

Greenbank admitted had had produced a "disappointing" performance in the 100m backstroke heats, which left him in the outside lane in the final in Sheffield.

But he responded with a time of 54.56 seconds to win the final, ahead of Brodie Williams and Jonathon Adam.

Speaking on swimming.org, Greenbank said: “I was disappointed [after the heats], so I knew I could improve tonight and it was great to come away from the win.

“It feels in a good place. Training has been all over the place this year, especially with ISL at start of year. We’re trying to get a good block in and then the main focus is looking towards the summer.

“We can use this as a good springboard into Worlds, Commies and that busy summer.

“It’s the first time my mum and dad have been able to come and watch me in two years.

"It’s great to have them here, the full stands help with the atmosphere and to help people get the best out of themselves.”

After that success on day two of the championships, day six then saw Greenbank win the 200m backstroke - the even in which he had already been pre-selected for the Commonwealths.

His time of 1 minute 57.57 seconds was enough to overcome the challenge of Williams, who again took silver.

The swimmer, whose formative years were spent at Cockermouth Swimming Club, was representing Loughborough NC at the championships.
