Day 5

Men’s 200m individual medley SM14Dutch world champion Marc Evers is famous for his powerful reactions to a race win. Don’t miss him at Glasgow 2015, especially as he set a new world record to become European champion in 2014. In 2015 he will be up against the world’s best and that includes Japan’s Yasuhiro Tanaka and South Korea’s Inkook Lee who were both gold medallists at the 2014 Asian Para Games.

Women’s 50m freestyle S11Any of the women’s S11 events are a compelling watch, and the 50m free is no exception. Featuring New Zealand’s world champion Mary Fisher and Italian world record holder Cecilia Camellini this event is sure to be a great watch.

Men’s 400m Freestyle S8Sam may have retired in 2014, but Great Britain’s Ollie Hynd will eventually want to break his brother’s four-year-old 400m freestyle S8 world record. Ollie topped the world rankings in 2014 and was about 1.5 seconds outside the record. With closer competition at his home World Championships in Glasgow, 2015 might be the year he eventually breaks it.

The 39-year-old claimed four gold medals in the S5 class and would have won more had she not come up against Norway’s Sarah Louise Rung. Although great friends out of the water, in the pool they are great rivals and Rung also claimed four European titles, pushing Perales into second in two of the races.

Men’s 100m freestyle S4Mexican Paralympic champion Gustavo Sanchez Martinez was beaten by Slovenia’s Darko Duric at the last edition of the World Championships in 2013. But in 2014, France’s David Smetanine topped the world rankings, leaving everything to play for in Glasgow.

Women’s 100m freestyle S8 Australia’s Maddison Elliott created arguably one of the biggest upsets of the 2013 World Championships by beating Paralympic champion and US superstar Jessica Long. Elliott went on to set a new world record at the Commonwealth Games. With Great Britain’s Stephanie Slater also in the mix, this race has the potential to be one of the highlights of Glasgow 2015.

Women’s 200m individual medley SM10New Zealand’s Sophie Pascoe is the Paralympic champion but did not enter this event at the 2013 World Championships. In 2014 Pascoe, who also won gold at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, came back to top the world rankings ahead of Canadian youngster Aurelie Rivard.

Men’s 400m freestyle S11The compelling story of the USA’s Bradley Snyder winning gold in this event at London 2012, exactly one year after he lost his eyesight whilst on duty for the US Navy in Afghanistan, was one of the headlines of the Games. Snyder returns to swimming in 2015 after a year out in 2014.

China’s armless swimmer Tao Zheng captured the imagination of a packed Aquatics Centre at London 2012, storming to gold. He followed that up with a world title in 2013, but Brazil’s 2014 world No.1 Talisson Glock could deny Zheng his second world title.

Men’s 50m backstroke S5There is very little to separate Brazil’s world and Paralympic champion Daniel Dias and Great Britain’s European champion Andrew Mullen in this event. With Dias currently holding the world record, set at London 2012, Mullen will be pushing his rival all the way to the wall.

Men’s 200m Freestyle S3 At the 2013 IPC Swimming World Championships, Ukraine’s Dmytro Vynohradets was in sensational form winning six gold medals in the eight races he competed in. He followed it up in 2014 with seven European titles. This summer though he should keep an eye out for Byeong-Eon Min after the South Korean finished ahead of him in the world rankings in a number of events.
