Claire Cashmore insists she will arrive at this summer’s European Championships riding the crest of a wave after grabbing silver and bronze at the Paralympic World Cup in Manchester yesterday.
The 23-year-old stepped up a disability category to compete in the 100m breaststroke but still grabbed silver in 1:21.63, touching home ahead of fellow Brit Louise Watkin in the process.
The 2008 Paralympic bronze medallist also sealed third in the 50m freestyle in 30.38 in Manchester where she hardly had time to draw breath, also finishing fifth in the 100m backstroke.
While Claire could be excused for showing signs of tiredness, especially having just returned from a training camp in Mallorca, she’s adamant she couldn’t be fresher.
She said: “It was a very quick turnaround at the event with three races in very short time but I feel surprisingly fresh and probably could have done another race if there was one.”
